Sorry I thought I had replied.
So this the following is the binary being run?

~ubuntu/.gvfs/account on stockholm/Documents/03 
professional/structured_documentation/unix_routines/bin/mv

Is that in your $PATH? What is that binary?
What's the output from mv --verison.
Do things work better when you use /bin/mv explicitly rather than just mv ?
