Here is what I discovered. I'm using mac os x 10.4.11, and I right clicked on one of the files that wouldn't move, and I chose Get Info. That popped up a dialog box that displayed info about the file. In the General section, in addition to the file size, path, creation date, etc., there were two checkboxes that said: Stationery Pad(whatever that is) and Locked. Locked was checked. A random sampling of 5 files that were moved had the Locked checkbox unchecked. So I unchecked Locked in the dialog box for both files and reran the script. This time the script successfully moved the two files.

What the heck is Locked referring to? Why the heck would two files be Locked? The files are on an SD digital camera card.

Hmmm...I wonder if that has to do with tagging the files in the camera, so they can't be erased?
