It looks like bind is used to put a filesystem in two places, like
your /tmp and /var/tmp example.  Move is used when you'd rather that
/dev/hdq3 were mounted at /media/bigdisk instead of /mnt/bigdisk, for
example.

With 'bind', it's one filesystem in two places.  With 'move' it's one
filesystem in one place, and then in a different one place.
