I'm trying to use AppleScript to move a file named "man1" from a folder "source" to a folder "sink". 

When using System Events, you have to use "disk item" in exactly the right place.
I got this to work ...

property sourceAlias : alias "unused:folder_1:Apple Docs.sparsebundle"
property destinationAlias : alias "unused:folder_2"

on run
tell application "System Events"
move disk item (sourceAlias as text) to (destinationAlias as text)
end tell
end run

And you could use the Finder instead of System Events.
