Thanks for the report, but that's not a bug in mv. Your date command is printing a space in the expansion of %k when the hour is a single digit number. That space makes it so `mv' sees three arguments, and provokes the diagnostic you reported. $ date --date='2005-02-04 02:00' +%Y%m%d-%k%M 20050204- 200 Use a format like %H that has zero-filled numbers. $ date --date='2005-02-04 02:00' +%Y%m%d-%H%M 20050204-0200 _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
