This shows it seems you do not understand fully or just make small typo mistakes! Folder name is MyDocs/bootmenu.img.d
And copying will not work, as kernel image needs to be converted from z to uImage.

u-boot-update-bootmenu does not need root rights.

Maybe (just a guess) your zImage file (located in /boot) is not readable for user. Or it is already a uImage. Or ...
Please give output of
ls -l /boot
Smth like
~ $ ls -l /boot/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1783580 Mar 18 2012 zImage-2.6.28.10-power50
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2045788 Jul 10 00:45 zImage-2.6.28.10-power50u-boot
You see the size difference? But, really, just a guess.
