copy/move alias

10.3.9 clients w/ARD2.2  10.4.8 admin w/ard2.2

I am trying to move a file named "CAL alias" from a folder named "AlaskaAssessments" in the Applications folder to the same file name in a folder named "Big Ten" in the Shared folder a couple hundred times.  

I have tried the ARD "copy items" function to move an alias out to machines to no avail.  The item that is copied is not the file I selected.  Is moved as CAL.app not as alias.  I am concluding that "copy items" won't work on an alias but acts on what the alias is pointed at.
        Please advise.

        I have tried mv also
               mv  /Applications/AlaskaAssessment/"CAL alias" /users/shared/"Big Ten"/"Cal alias"   gives me a failed message

               cp  /Applications/AlaskaAssessment/"CAL alias" /users/shared/"Big Ten"/"Cal alias"
 result is file or directory does not exist.
        Please Advise on syntax or lack of logic.   TIA
