Bug in fileutils.rb on RHEL 6.1-2, FileUtils.mv fails when there symlinks within the directory you try to move

[Bryan Berry]

When I try to move a directory that contains symlinks, I get a ENOENT error message for some of the symlinks. I suspect that fileutils.rb tries to move the symlink before it move the target.

I tested on RHEL 6.1 and RHEL 6.2, w/ the  ruby-1.8.7.352-4.el6.x86_64 rpm from rbel repository

$ wget 'http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/6u29-b11/jdk-6u29-linux-x64.bin'

$ bash ./jdk....

ruby -e "require 'fileutils' ; FileUtils.mv '/tmp/jdk1.6.0_29', '/opt' "

I have attached the results of running strace on the command

keep up the great work on rbel! We really appreciate it.
