I see your path correction, and raise you:
* whitespace-safe folders
* Automatic copy to remote system.
* Automatic new file and folder creation
* Using those pretty xargs parameters.

cd /root/of/dir/structure
find . -type d -print0 > ~/dirs.txt
find . -type d -print0 > ~/files.txt

scp dirs.txt files.txt remote.system:

ssh remote.system <<ENDSSH
cd /root/of/new/structure
cat ~/dirs.txt|xargs -0 mkdir -p
cat ~/files.txt|xargs -0 touch
ENDSSH
