System name:		major
Type and version:	KN02ca 7.4H (2 update(s) to same version)
Display type:		PMAG-DV 

What were you trying to do?
	move a >3 Meg file from /usr/tmp to my home directory.
	I was approximately 1.4 Meg under my quota limit.

What's wrong:
	An error "afs: failed to store file" appeared, and it was clear,
	the file did not copy.  In addition, and here's the real problem,
	IT REMOVED THE FILE FROM THE ORIGINAL LOCATION.

What should have happened:
	It should not have removed the file from /usr/tmp, since the move
	was NOT successful.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	mv, common sense
