mv does not have a -R flag.  Simpy do:

mv path_to/source_dir path_to/destination_dir

if you want it to create destination_dir.

or

mv path_to/source_dir path_to/destination_dir/.

if you want source_dir to be dropped into destination_dir.

If this isn't clear create directiories in /tmp and play with them until
it's clear.
