As it happens, the desired locations are system folders (running windows xp, the folders are as follows: C:\WINDOWS, C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM, C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32). To see if this factor was causing the problem, I tried it using the interpreter, and found it to be flawless.
I'm not entirely sure what that last sentence means. But does it mean that shutil.move() works fine if you do it interactively but not in your code? The simplest interpretation then would be that there is something wrong in your code.

What version of Python are you using? Is it the standard Windows distribution?
