I know that. It's a copy, not move.

I just can't see any reason why to mention anything about any bug. I
didn't do that.

what about: mv dirA dirB ==
mkdir dirB
dircp dirA dirB
rm -r dirA
... if you are able to 'rm -r' (which also may span multiple
fileservers) than I don't see any trouble with moving the directories.
