I know the paths to the folders are correct becuase if I take out the part where it actually moves the folders it works fine.

Here is the command line:
C:\Documents and Settings\Tim\My Documents\test1>perl readdir.plx
Access is denied.

Here is the code

#!/usr/bin/perl



$dirtoget="\\\\Server\\Bankpro";                        #directory to 
+read folders

opendir(IMD, $dirtoget) || die("Cannot open directory");            #o
+pen directory

@thefiles= readdir(IMD);                            #store all files a
+nd folders in directory into an array
closedir(IMD);                                    #close directory


open (filenames, "dissmissed2.txt") || die ("Could not open file. <br>
+ $!");    #open list of file names
$text = <filenames>;                                #read in one line 
+from txt file


$defaultdir = "\\\\Server\\Bankpro";                         # Directo
+ry containing original folders
$destinationdir = "\\\\Server\\BPdismis";                     # Direct
+ory to copy folders to

foreach $f (@thefiles)                                #for each file i
+n the directory
{
  unless ( ($f eq ".") || ($f eq "..") )                    #dont move
+ unless its a file of folder
  { 

    while ($text){                                #while there is a li
+ne of text
            
        $text =~ s/\s+$//;                          #strip off whitesp
+ace, newline and tabs
        system qq(move /y "$defaultdir/$text" "$destinationdir");     
+#move files to diffrent directory
            $text = <filenames>;                        #read in next 
+line from file
        }
        
  }
}


close (filenames);                                #close list of files
