Did you try putting it back in it’s original place and trying again? I’ve encountered this error before, but sadly do not recall what triggered it or how I fixed it. I think I slightly recall it had something to do with similar naming, but I could be mistaken.
My instinct though would be to double check the types of each account and make sure they are correct. There might be a check against placing non-asset accounts under other asset accounts for example. Perhaps the account in question somehow is of the wrong type.
