I don't have the necessary configuration here to try reproducing.  You
said it doesn't happen when moving to trash just a small directory, so
it's quite clear that something specific to your system is at work here.

Try figuring out why the make-directory call fails.  What is the name
of the directory that fails the call, and why?

Yes, if someone else could reproduce, it could help.

Here are some questions for you to try to answer:

  . Does this happen only with moves across filesystems?
  . Would any target filesystem do, or just some special kind(s)/
  . What is the difference between the first move and the subsequent
    moves that triggers the error?

Thanks.
