I’m sure its something simple but i just can’t figure it out

thank you in advance for your help

These errors are caused by trying to rename a file across file system boundaries. So rename a file into or out of a mounted file system.

Does that make sense?

What did you do to make those errors?

yeah kind of makes sense, I’m not sure what i’ve done all i’m doing is a simple rclone -vv move /home/user/files /home/user/gmovie/files

Some files seem to be transferring now so maybe its just files that already there? i’ll monitor for a bit and get back to you tomorrow
