mv /my/dir/dir/files /my/dir/files - provided they are both the target and
destination are in the same file system should do it. All you're really
trying to do is eliminate the superfluous directory level, and this will do
that.

I need a mv incantation to move everything up a directory, i.e. change:
/my/dir/dir/files to
/my/dir/files
Thanks in advance,
Marcy Cortes
