This is a copy of the sequence of commands with which to reproduce this
problem.
--------------------------------------------
address@hidden admin_scripts $ sudo mkdir /tmp/mvbug
address@hidden admin_scripts $ sudo touch /tmp/mvbug/file
address@hidden admin_scripts $ mv /tmp/mvbug/file /tmp/file1
mv: cannot move `/tmp/mvbug/file' to `/tmp/file1': Permission denied
address@hidden admin_scripts $ mv /tmp/mvbug/file .
mv: cannot remove `/tmp/mvbug/file': Not a directory
address@hidden admin_scripts $ mv /tmp/mvbug/file ./
mv: cannot remove `/tmp/mvbug/file': Not a directory
--------------------------------------------
Basically what it is, when you don't have write access or ownership of the
source file, you can't move the file when your target directory is "." or
"./", but instead of displaying "Permission denied" it displays "Not a
directory".
My version of coreutils: 6.7-r1
Distro: Gentoo 2006.1
mv --version output: mv (GNU coreutils) 6.7
/pro/version:
