It seems to be more common of a problem with Lion for some reason. But sometimes the command v works just fine. Have also found that holding the command down a little longer before doing the letter v more times then it will do an actual copy instead of moving it, but also sometimes as a command v for pasting it sets up in the new place as an alias, so where the file has been pasted to do v o keys shift m and if it says (show original) then it copied over as an alias instead, thus when opened is still going to go back to the original place the file was. But command option v does move it after a copy, and it is a literal move too because it will be gone from the original place.
