Hi. I have the same problem. I see the point, that you could lose data, but on the other hand, you could also lose data, if you think you have copied something, but you have not and when you can delete something that you have not moved. I have tried different things, but I can not find a usefull solution, but there is a program called pathfinder. That program can move data, I tried it, but I had some problems with it, but maybe we can use that program. Maybe one of you, who is much better on the mac than I am could try it out.
I do not remember the web adress right now, but it will apear if you write pathfinder in a google search.
