MOVE to a different volume should not trigger write to DELDIR

Description
When MOVE is used to relocate a file from one volume to another, the file being moved is copied to DELDIR for the source volume. This is inconsistent with the intention of a move, which is not to delete, but rather to relocate.
Use case is when a user needs to free up space on a given volume, so he moves files to a different volume. This exercise is futile, particularly if DELDIR is large, as the moved files are also copied to DELDIR in the operation.

Understood. This behavior was unexpected for me, but is well documented (had I but looked). Thanks.

In this case, the user is supposed to use the /F switch because the user knows the system is configured to use DELDIR.
