 I just ran the following command:

 {{{
 tahoe mv --node-directory=~/.tahoe-volunteergrid "01 Battery.flac"
 "Metallica-Master of Puppets-4-of-6-fec"
 }}}

 Since "Metallica-Master of Puppets-4-of-6-fec" was an existing directory,
 I expected it to move the file "01 Battery.flac" into that directory.
 Instead it unlinked that directory and renamed the file to "Metallica-
 Master of Puppets-4-of-6-fec".  Fortunately the directory was empty so no
 data was lost.
