Hi folks,

I'm trying to move files across devices on my linux box.  Here's what
I had:  
    os.rename(sFileName, dir + newName) 
which gives:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/scripts/sort_mp3s.py", line 68, in ?
    localSort(i, defaultSaveDir)
  File "/usr/local/scripts/sort_mp3s.py", line 34, in localSort
    os.rename(sFileName, dir + newName)
OSError: [Errno 18] Invalid cross-device link

ok, so that doesn't work.  is there another method?

thx,
matt
