Wrong, as far as I can tell. The LR specifies no such limitation. Try  
the following with two files that YOU DON'T MIND LOSING SINCE IT  
DESTROYS DATA:
  dim f as FolderItem = GetOpenFolderItem("????")
  dim f2 as FolderItem = GetOpenFolderItem("????")
  f.MoveFileTo f2
  MsgBox str(f.LastErrorCode)

Works for me on Mac OS X, replacing the file and reporting no error.
