[Samba] Move Vs Copy

[M Azer]

I assign the pub share a different a drive letter in my login script:
P: public
H: userhome
y: Dept share
and the MOVE command worked as the COPY command. now when i mv folders/files
between the three different shares the folders/files get assigned the
appropriate permissions as well as the appropriate group ownership and it
doesn't retain the original permissions and ownership.
