OK, this is the first time I see this black on white. I think we should be able get to the cause of this.
I don't see it (also 10.3 with tcsh):
costabel% mkdir /dir1
costabel% mkdir /dir2
costabel% mv /dir1/ /dir2/
costabel% ls /dir2
dir1
So there must be a difference between our mv commands.
Do you get the same result when you use explicitly '/bin/mv' instead of 'mv'?
And is your /bin/mv the same as
costabel% what /bin/mv
/bin/mv

Martin, I *think* -- but I'm not sure -- that things were fine and I was able to build xmms after I had freshly installed 10.3 (upgrade disk mailed from Apple) with Archive and Install option and with installing the dev tools on the xcode disk, but kept my existing /sw and fink. Then, I decided to remove /sw and re-install fink from fink-0.15.1-beta, which I believe was recommended at the time. After I added unstable trees, updated from cvs, I then noticed the problem.
Also, I don't believe I'm the only one because two or three others posted messages about this same issue with mv failing.
Thanks for taking a look at this issue.
James
