OK, looks like we're in sync. I'm using the same versions of mv and the Cygwin DLL. Maybe you're seeing a permissions problem or an inode hash problem (see the list archives from this week). I'm not sure. I've tried this on both NTFS and FAT partitions so that's not the issue. Looks like it may take some debugging on your end to figure this out. Have you tried strace and/or gdb?
