Instead of using system calls, try using popen/pclose. Make sure to
pipe stderr to stdout (2>&1) and then read the call back. You'll
likely get more detailed warning messages, as apposed to nothing at
all. That, or pipe all the system calls to a file and read that.

Yes, I've already checked that. It's a problem where the system call is
being denied (or so it seems).. I'm having the same problem from my php
pages.

I assume on your platform mv -uf is a valid option?

If you haven't already I'd cd into the directory and attempt one or
two of these manually to see  what might cause the error.
