Thank you for your report.  But it looks to me like you have
whitespace in your destination file name.

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.

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.

Hope that helps

Bob
