Bug Description
The command mvfile uses os.rename() to move a file. But os.rename() will fail with "OSError: [Errno 18] Invalid cross-device link" when moving across file systems. For example moving a file in /tmp to /home in Fedora will fail.
Shutil does not have this problem.
Change the os.rename() to shutil.move()
