Problem seems to exist in all versions of FreeBSD.

Description:
	mv(1) contains the sentence:  "It is an error for either the source operand or the destination path to specify a directory unless both do.

How-To-Repeat:
	man mv

Fix:
	Remove this sentence from man page.

 I think what the manpage tries to state is that you can:
 
     - move a file to a file
     - move a file to a directory
     - move a directory inside another directory
 
 but you cannot
 
     - move a directory on top of a non-directory object.
 
 Perhaps, we should remove it and write something like the above
 text?
