in reply to Copying a large file (6Gigs) across the network and deleting it at source location

Just an idea, how about using secure copy to copy files across the network recursively instead?
scp -CBvrp srcpath user@host:destpath
     |||||
     ||||+-- Preserves time stamp
     |||+--- Recursively copy entire directories.
     ||+---- Verbose mode useful for logging
     |+----- Batch mode
     +------ Enable compression accross network

and then...

del /S *.BAK     # recursively delete BAK files

    This assumes that the extra CPU juice needed to encrypt/decrypt and compress/decompress 6gb will allow the transfer to happen at the same rate or faster. It may or may not, but I assume if his network can't transfer raw 6gb faster than he has stated, the CPU's (and memory) plugged into such a network may be an even tighter bottleneck.
