I suspect your "mv" behavior is different than mine.  I do not have that
problem.  On a RaQ4 my my version is:

[root /root]# mv --version
mv (GNU fileutils) 4.0

You may want to check your version.  In any case, an alternate method is to
do this (copy directory, then delete instead of move):

# Only need /home/usr created, not /home/usr/local to do this.
# -d flag is important, otherwise symbolic links within /usr/local will be
broken after copy.
cp -pRd /usr/local /home/usr/local
rm -r /usr/local

Then follow the rest of the steps I gave previously.
