I'm not entirely sure what that last sentence means. But does it mean 
that shutil.move() works fine if you do it interactively but not in your 
code? The simplest interpretation then would be that there is something 
wrong in your code.

Why don't you post the debug output of that quoted section of code?

What version of Python are you using? Is it the standard Windows 
distribution?
