Re-create directory structure

hi!,
I'm trying to copy/recreate the directory structure but not including it's contents I'm trying this, but it's getting an error because of the '.' how can I remove it?

Code:

newton@gollum:~/tuaman> find -type d  -exec mkdir /apps/tuaman2/\{\} \;         mkdir: cannot create directory `/apps/tuaman2/.': No such file or directory
mkdir: cannot create directory `/apps/tuaman2/./dir1': No such file or directory
mkdir: cannot create directory `/apps/tuaman2/./dir1/dir3': No such file or directory
mkdir: cannot create directory `/apps/tuaman2/./dir2': No such file or directory
newton@gollum:~/tuaman> find -type d

I do have /apps/tuaman2/, I guess the '.' is causing the error.
Thanks!

Regards,
Rhani

Code:

cd /apps/tuaman2
find /apps/tuaman -type d -printf "%P\n" | xargs mkdir -p

That's one solution among others.
