Thank you for your report. But it looks to me like you have whitespace in your destination file name. > mv: Beim Verschieben mehrerer Dateien muß das letzte Argument ein Verzeichnis >sein It is my loss that I do not read this language but I hope it says the equivalent to "when moving multiple files, last argument must be a directory" in which case I believe the problem is a space in the target name of your example. > newdm: mv >'=?iso-8859-1?Q?Aktivit=E4ten=5FeCommerce-Plattfor?=??=?iso-8859-1?Q?m=2Edoc?=' >Aktivitäten-2002-01- 28.doc I see a space between the "-01-" and the "28.doc" which will make mv see three files on the command line instead of two. I believe you did not intend that space in the target name. I am confident that is the problem here.
