There is really no such thing as 'moving'. 'moving' is duplicating to
another location and then deleting the original. In many situations, the OS
will do this behind the scenes so you never notice. But in 'moving' from one
disk to another, it is explicit: in fact you can't 'move' from one disk to
another in the UI, you can only duplicate, when you drag a file to a
location on another disk. There were some oddities in a few earlier versions
of OS 10.0.x-10.1.x, but somewhere along the way this was also restored to
AppleScript. I guess that the 'with replacing' parameter allows you to
remove the original by putting it in the trash, yes.
