[Centos] help with xargs and mv

[James B. Byrne]

It appears that xargs really, really does not like a wildcard in 
the command construction.

#cat workmid | xargs -i mv ./mqueue/df'{}' ./mqueue/offline
#cat workmid | xargs -i mv ./mqueue/qf'{}' ./mqueue/offline

work and move the files, but neither of:

#cat workmid | xargs -i mv ./mqueue/*'{}' ./mqueue/offline
#cat workmid | xargs -i mv ./mqueue/\*'{}' ./mqueue/offline

work.  Bizarre.

Thanks for all of the assistance.  This was really helpful.

Regards,
Jim
