Hi.

Few questions...

- What is `msg.source` set to
- what is `msg.destination` set to
- is the file _really_ called `Reboot*`?

my guess is you are trying to wild card this file name?

I'm not certain fs-ops move node supports wildcard file names - but the `directory` node does.

You'll likely have to use the `directory` node to get a list of files in `msg.source` then run through the array - then create a new `msg` with the file name set into a msg property then send that to the `move` node
