Basically, everything passes, and it prints that it has Successfully moved the $key (being the first file path, original location) to the $value (final location, but it's not actually moving the files. Anyone see anything right off that I am doing wrong? Can I not use file paths in a hash for easy moving purposes? I tried, in PowerShell: move $key (wrote out the file path) , $value (wrote this path out as well, note both were copied from the hash including the quotes) and it worked succesfully. What am I missing? I *did* try write_file($key,$value); but this let me to "permission denied" I feel like I am missing something silly, and that it's likely an easy fix, but after 8-10 hours of wracking my brain I cannot seem to figure it out. ##EDIT Turns out - it's a permissions issue. If I am trying to move the folder to the destination by hand I am prompted with a window requesting admin access in order to perform the operation. I'd wager that this is the culprit as the script works... well... at least the error checking. Then my manual tests confirmed it's a permissions issue. Thanks a ton for your alls help on this.
