	One more thing to add on this.  The mv commands above are moving or
renaming an entire directory structure.  Within that structure only a
few files are being turned into dangling sym links.  The really
interesting thing is that it's usually the same files over and over
again.  

	And to throw one more point of interest in here, it is possible that a
read is attempted by another client or application somewhere in the
middle of the mv commands.  Though I doubt this would be happening every
time.
