You have to use the old encoded name which is only available in the
.META. table. For example (sorry for the probably bad formatting):
hbase(main):004:0> get '.META.', 'some_table,31905260,1273870975233'
COLUMN CELL
info:regioninfo
timestamp=1273870975682, value=REGION => {NAME =>
'some_table,31905260,1273870975233', STARTKEY => '31905260', ENDKEY =>
'33237012', ENCODED => 88822279, TABLE => {{NAME => 'some_table',
FAMILIES => [{NAME => 'default', BLOOMFILTER => 'NONE', COMPRESSION =>
'LZO', VERSIONS => '3', TTL => '2147483647', BLOCKSIZE => '65536',
IN_MEMORY => 'false', BLOCKCACHE => 'true'}]}}
In there you can see ENCODED => 88822279, that's what you need to pass
to the move command.
