The warning mentioned above deals with moving/renaming remote files. If I understand the problem correctly, a Freebsd system has a fat32 partition mounted and the move (with R, I presume), is therefore local. Local moves are accomplished with vim's rename() function under netrw. So either the remote method (copy+delete) is being invoked inadvertently or there's a problem with rename().
