Hi, After more investigation, I have found that due to folders and files relating to CVS (I am checking out the code from CVS, which is creating CVS folders all over the directory structure), the move task does not complete successfully. CVS folders are hidden and this may be affecting the "move" task. Is there any way I can force the task to copy all folders and files, including hidden ones? I also tried manually changing the attributes to "not hidden" before running the move task, but that didn't work either.

It is usually quicker this way as well, as it amounts to a rename of the directory.
