I assume you tried the cp as root?

A quick look at http://gnuradio.org/doc/doxygen/index.html (which is a 
golden place) I found for instance

usrp_sink_c_sptr 
<http://gnuradio.org/doc/doxygen/classboost_1_1shared__ptr.html> usrp_make_sink_c 
<http://gnuradio.org/doc/doxygen/classusrp__sink__c.html#c54a4bc557defc1c1157d09ef523cb4a> 
(int which_board, unsigned int interp_rate, int nchan, int mux, int 
fusb_block_size, int fusb_nblocks, const std::string fpga_filename, 
const std::string firmware_filename) throw (std::runtime_error)

Although this is the c++ consturctor for a complex usrp sink, the 
mapping to python should be straight forward, and similar syntax (if not 
identical) can be used for the other types of sources/sinks.

Hope this helps, and is what you asked for
