moving files across devices

#- 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?

What are the values of sFileName, dir, and newName (show them here not with
str() but with repr()).

Also, what happens if you try to move it with mv directly from the shell?
