Okay, I tried the above example through telnet instead of through serial just to see if that would make any difference. It didn't. So, I did the following:

sh-2.03# mkdir /empeg/fids1/test

sh-2.03# mkdir /empeg/fids0/test

sh-2.03# cp /proc/empeg_notify /empeg/fids1/test/poo

sh-2.03# ls /empeg/fids1/test/

poo

sh-2.03# mv /empeg/fids1/test/* /empeg/fids0/

sh-2.03# ls /empeg/fids1/test/

sh-2.03# ls /empeg/fids1/

_00000  _00005  _0000a  _0000f  _00014  _00019  _0001e  _00028  _00035

_00001  _00006  _0000b  _00010  _00015  _0001a  _00023  _00029  _90120

_00002  _00007  _0000c  _00011  _00016  _0001b  _00025  _0002a  test

_00003  _00008  _0000d  _00012  _00017  _0001c  _00026  _00033

_00004  _00009  _0000e  _00013  _00018  _0001d  _00027  _00034

sh-2.03# ls /empeg/fids0/test/

sh-2.03# ls /empeg/fids0/     

_00000  _00006  _0000c  _00012  _00018  _0001e  _00024  _0002a  _00032  test

_00001  _00007  _0000d  _00013  _00019  _0001f  _00025  _0002b  _00033

_00002  _00008  _0000e  _00014  _0001a  _00020  _00026  _0002c  _00034

_00003  _00009  _0000f  _00015  _0001b  _00021  _00027  _0002d  _00035

_00004  _0000a  _00010  _00016  _0001c  _00022  _00028  _0002e  _90120

_00005  _0000b  _00011  _00017  _0001d  _00023  _00029  _0002f  poo

sh-2.03# 

As you can see from the last ls, that example worked just like I expected. But, the previous example where it looked like an actual fid didn't. This furthers my belief that it's somehow hijack that's getting in the way here.

If it is indeed hijack causing my grief, is it just the price we pay of having the automatic fid mangling, or is it something that should work but is currently broken?

Again, I apologize for the trouble. I know that there are better ways to do what I was trying to do. But, I still can't understand why what I was trying to do didn't work.
