Thanks for the reply.

1. Rights is definitely not the issue here. As I said, I
tried the 'move' portion in a separate batch file and
scheduled task (same credentials of course) and it works.

2. I must beg to differ on the use of mapped drives vs.
UNC notation. I've found two contradictory messages
elsewhere that state that one works and the other doesn't.
