Thanks for the report.
I recommend you use this instead.

mv from fileutils-4.0 had bugs.

| one machine (a newer Alpha Personal Workstation 600au) whereas the same
| binary with the same dynamic libc (compared!) does ignore directory 3
| correctly (displaying a message it did so) on a older Alpha Station 600
| running DU 4.0e with the same patches applied...
|
| The package was compiled after vanilla configure without any warnings or
| errors using the DEC C Compiler Version 5.8-011 (Rev. 1091). The bug
| wasn't present in version 3.16 of fileutils, although the compiler gave
| some warnings (notconstqual) in backupfile.c (line 125 + 128), ln.c
| (line 131, 132 + 149 2x) and mv.c (line 360). So I installed mv Version
| 3.16 instead.
|
| Anyway thanks for providing these utilities for free!
