I have entered a series of commands below with the release
# for reference. The move command fails because: The file
name or extension is too long.

G: is a network root level administrative share. c$

No I can't explain it. It does seem clear that there is some
internal limit in MOVE that chokes on the command-line length.
Likely that the 2 fully qualified paths exceed something internally.

Aside from the curiousity/bug factor you clearly have alternatives in
COPY, XCOPY, DEL and REN. And SUBST'ing the path to a letter does
not choke MOVE either.

All on W2K SP3. Anyone with XP to test it?
 
Even with long filename support the limit for filenames is
still 255 characters. You seem to have about 387. Don't
forget that the 255 characters includes the file path
