                    FileChannel src = new FileInputStream(source).getChannel();
                    FileChannel dst = new FileOutputStream(destination).getChannel();
                    dst.transferFrom(src, 0, src.size());
                    src.close();
                    dst.close();
                }

sd already contains /mnt/sdcard. You are actually trying to open /mnt/sdcard/mnt/sdcard/DCIM/Camera/my_photo.jpg. Remove /mnt/sdcard from sourceImagePath and destinationImagePath. You would probably also need to create the PortFolio/MyGallery folder first.

Starting API level 8, you can also use this to get the default pictures folder:

Environment.getExternalStoragePublicDirectory(Environment.DIRECTORY_PICTURES);

And last but not least, make sure you have permission to access the SD card.
