What method are you using?

# mv file directory

You could be running out of some sort of system kernel parameter.
Are there any messages pertaining to kernel parameters either in /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log or dmesg?

WHat is the output of

# getconf ARG_MAX

probably some other process got it.

Is this an active filessten?

fuser -cu /filesystm

It also could be a nfs filesystem or something thats unavailable due to a networking issue.

Please provide the full error message. The problem could one of a few. Does it appear in syslog, dmesg.

Also the indode problem will only relate to a filesystem that is not vxfs.

Hi,
Is that NFS directory, by the time ur script move that file, it might have been deleted, this could be one of the reasons. Or it may be a link to some other file, which was deleted during ur script run. Give more details.
