} and I don't understand why it tries to access these files.

perl, suidperl, and pstruct are all hard links to other files.  In each
case your "mv" command has already "mv"d the other name (e.g. perl5.7.0
for perl) for those files to the new directory.

This sounds like a bug in "mv" -- are you using zsh's files module, or
/bin/mv, or ...?  Which linux *distribution* (not just kernel version)
of linux are you using?  What version of GNU fileutils?  Are there any
NFS file systems involved?
