Thank you, Andrew.

Sometime we got so caught up in the problem at hand that we miss the
obvious.  I have used the "force" commands before, but didn't think of
that this time.

It did complain that it couldn't 

mv: cannot stat `/usr/games/frozen-bubble.wav': No such file or
directory


but a simple "touch" fixed that.
