Do you have all the files in one big folder. The error looks like an
overflow.
try 
***
mkdir tmp 
mv a*.doc tmp
***

Come to think of it there is probably a patern to match files starting
a-m so you could "mv [a-m]*.doc tmp" or equivalent.

Of course you could also highlight and move them in konqueror.

The intention is to reduce the size of the folder. I think the term is
"glob limit" for a bash limit of this nature.
