Why would you want to use -m option? don't use that. Just use a simple "zip" and it will work.
-m Move the specified files into the zip archive; actu-
ally, this deletes the target directories/files after
making the specified zip archive. If a directory
becomes empty after removal of the files, the directory
is also removed. No deletions are done until zip has
created the archive without error. This is useful for
conserving disk space, but is potentially dangerous so
it is recommended to use it in combination with -T to
test the archive before removing all input files.
