An explicit error explicitly saying "cannot move", and mention the source and
destination, and also "blames" the target directory seems the most
user-friendly and least ambiguous.

EDQUOT,

Including the full context about an error is essential:
- what did the tool try to do (at that point)?
- what was the problem? (e.g. ENOTEMPTY)
- where was the problem: src or dst?
