Move File

I am having problem with simple move command. If a file exists in infolder:

This does not work (will not move the file)
Tell application "Finder"
Move file efile to folder infolder with replacing
End tell


This works (will move the file)
Tell application "Finder"
If efile exists then
Delete file (infolder & efile)
End if
Move file efile to folder infolder with replacing
End tell

Any reason Why? (OS 9.2).

Thanks
Ruby
