Ok, I cut out the leading '*' from the work file and used the
following command:
# cat workmid | xargs -i mv ./mqueue/*'{}' ./mqueue/offline
mv: cannot stat `./mqueue/*j18IrbIn002131': No such file or
directory
#ll ./mqueue/*j18IrbIn002131

-rw------- 1 root smmsp 1817 Feb 8 13:54 ./mqueue/qfj18IrbIn002131

Now what is wrong?
