CopyRaster with Error 000732

I am writing some code that will automate the construction of 30 year monthly average gridded climate data in the United States. Recently, I've finished a draft but am tied up in an error that I cannot unravel. The code is in the grey box below. The error I am receiving (Error 000732) is below that. I ran the erroneous line in question on its own in the Python Script in ArcGIS 10.1 and it worked which has led me to even more confusion.

CODE:

 # IMPORT SYSTEM MODULES import arcpy from arcpy import env from arcpy.sa import *  # CHECK OUT ANY NECESSARY LICENSES arcpy.CheckOutExtension("spatial")  MonthDay = ["1/16/", "2/16/", "3/15/", "4/15/", "5/15/", "6/15/", "7/15/", "8/15/", "9/15/", "10/15/", "11/15/", "12/15/"]  # LOOP THROUGH MONTH AND DAYS for month in MonthDay:     LIST = []     NoBackslashMonth = month.replace("/", "")      # LOOP THROUGH THE YEAR 1970 AND 1999     for year in range(1970, 2000):         arcpy.MakeNetCDFRasterLayer_md(r"E:\Documents\Data\Climate\United States\1970-1999 (OBSERVED)\1970-1999CodePlayground.gdb\Extraction_Tavg.nc", "Tavg", "longitude", "latitude", NoBackslashMonth + str(year), "", [["time", month+str(year)]],"BY_VALUE")         LIST.append(NoBackslashMonth + str(year)) # ADDS RASTER DATA FOR THE YEAR "year" TO "LIST"      DATE = " " # CREATES/RESETS "DATE" VARIABLE      # IF STATEMENT THAT WILL PUT ABBREVIATED MONTH VALUES IN FOR THEIR CORRESPONDING NUMERIC ORDER     if month == '1/16/':         DATE = "jan"     elif month == '2/16/':         DATE = "feb"     elif month == '3/15/':         DATE = "march"     elif month == '4/15/':         DATE = "april"     elif month == '5/15/':         DATE = "may"     elif month == '6/15/':         DATE = "june"     elif month == '7/15/':         DATE = "july"     elif month == '8/15/':         DATE = "aug"     elif month == '9/15/':         DATE = "sep"     elif month == '10/15/':         DATE = "oct"     elif month == '11/15/':         DATE = "nov"     elif month == '12/15/':         DATE = "dec"     else:         print "no date"       output = arcpy.sa.CellStatistics(LIST, "MEAN", "NODATA") # CALCULATES THE 30 YEAR AVERAGE FOR "DATE"     arcpy.CopyRaster_management("output", "E:\\Documents\\Data\\Climate\\United States\\1970-1999 (OBSERVED)\\MonthlyTemperatureData.gdb\\" + DATE, "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "") # COPY'S "output" RASTER DATA SET as "DATE" in "MonthlyTemperatureData" GEODATABASE      # Clears the Table of Contents ######################     mxd = arcpy.mapping.MapDocument("CURRENT")     for df in arcpy.mapping.ListDataFrames(mxd):         for lyr in arcpy.mapping.ListLayers(mxd, "", df):             arcpy.mapping.RemoveLayer(df, lyr)     # Clears the Table of Contents ######################

ERROR:

Thank you very much.

Try dropping the "" around the word output in the CopyRaster tool.

Thank you very much, that worked marvelously. I thought it would be something stupidly simple.
