Ruby, OS9.1.2 here, and your top offering _does_work for me. I think it is
unclear from your code what the variable 'efile' holds.
It needs an alias, and then the tell...block return a finder reference.
For example:
-- This does not work (will not move the file)
set efile to choose file
efile
-- alias "My iMac:Desktop Folder:untitled folder:b"
set infolder to choose folder
infolder
-- alias "My iMac:Desktop Folder:untitled folder:internalfolder:"
tell application "Finder" to move file efile to folder infolder with
replacing
-- file "b" of folder "internalfolder" of folder "untitled folder" of
application "Finder"
