I don't think there's a way to move a line to another buffer/file.
I believe the destination has to be within the same file. So you can do
:10ka
:20kb
:30kc
:'a,'b m 'c
to move lines 10-20 to after line 30 all within the same buffer.
Looking at
:help :m
it gives the syntax as ":[range]m[ove] {address}", so looking at the
help for
:help {address}
which states "when the mark is in another file it cannot be used in
a range". It might be better clarified to include "or as a
destination for a :move or :copy".
