Whatever the problem is, it's not in 'mv'...

I tried to run my dedup'r, and got this:
  /usr/share/fonts/sys> time ndedup /home/law/fonts/sys2/ .
  Paths: 34474, uniq nodes: 20192, total_size: 12.8GB (12.9GB allocated).

But this works (same dir's):

  /usr/share/fonts/sys> cd /home/share/fonts/sys
  /home/share/fonts/sys> time ndedup /home/law/fonts/sys2/ .
  Paths: 34474, uniq nodes: 20191, total_size: 12.8GB (12.9GB allocated).

Anyone know if this is a documented kernel "feature"?
Seems odd.
