C# File.Copy Directory Not Found

I am trying to do a File.Copy in C#.

I get a DirectoryNotFoundException. However, I verified the directory exists.

My code:

try 
{
    log.Info("Copying file from '" + srcFile + "' to '" + destFile + "'");
    log.Info("Source File: '" + srcFile + "' exists: " + File.Exists(srcFile));
    File.Copy(srcFile, destFile, true);
    log.Info("Copied file to '" + destFile + "' success");
}
catch (System.Exception ex)
{
    log.Error("Send Logs: Log file copy error", ex);
}

Results of running the code:

2017-08-30 09:20:25,933 [1] INFO  [ArbitrationForums.AFClient.AFSystemTray.MainForm] Copying file from 'C:\Users\ptenn\AppData\Roaming\ArbitrationForums\logs\AFDashboard.log' to 'C:\Users\ptenn\AppData\Roaming\ArbitrationForums\AFClient\DataSpool\AFDashboard.log'
2017-08-30 09:20:25,933 [1] INFO  [ArbitrationForums.AFClient.AFSystemTray.MainForm] Source File: 'C:\Users\ptenn\AppData\Roaming\ArbitrationForums\logs\AFDashboard.log' exists: True
2017-08-30 09:20:25,934 [1] ERROR [ArbitrationForums.AFClient.AFSystemTray.MainForm] Send Logs: Log file copy error
System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 
    'C:\Users\ptenn\AppData\Roaming\ArbitrationForums\logs\AFDashboard.log'.
    at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)
    at System.IO.File.InternalCopy(String sourceFileName, String 
    destFileName, Boolean overwrite, Boolean checkHost)
    at ArbitrationForums.AFClient.AFSystemTray.MainForm.sendLogs()

I should have permissions since I am logged on as the user that I am going to their AppData\Roaming Folder.

At wits end, does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks very much!

I'm with Timamonium on this one. I'd suggest that your destination directory does not exist "C:\Users\ptenn\AppData\Roaming\ArbitrationForums\AFClient\D‌​ataSpool\"
