Wow. So movePath: doesn't actually move anything. It copies, then
deletes (even when on the same file system). Which, I imagine, also
means that a lot of metadata gets lost along with it (unless it uses
FSCopyObject internally).
No idea why it would do a copy, then delete instead of a normal move.
Especially since the former requires that twice the HD space be free
as the file size.

That is the documented behaviour of movePath.
The Finder, being a Carbon application, does not use movePath -- it
probably uses FSMoveObject.
