[afnog] mv not mv-ing :-(

Hi Frank,

As a hint to why this isn't working, replacing your second echo $?  
with an exit or an ls -l will show you that you created the file...

hmm... not sure what test you want to run here. do you want to test  
if the variable has been set? if [ -n ${...} ] or do you want to test  
if the directory exists? if [ -d ${ ... } ] or both? if [ -n ${..} -a  
-d ${ ...} ] ...

Also, removing the 2>/dev/null is always good when debugging since  
it'll give you errors, you should try it.

I'm guessing that on the first machine

1. you have a FLOWARCHIVEDIR set
2. the archive directory exists.
