If you are running this from cron, any error message should arrive by email (unless you explicitly redirect standard error someplace). On the other hand, perhaps it would in fact make sense to capture standard output and standard error to a temporary file somewhere so you can inspect them in more or less real time.

Perhaps a good start would be to include the value of $? in the error report. If you capture standard error and standard output from the pipeline to a temporary file, include that in the email, too.

Note that the exit code from xargs might mask the exit code from mv

As a stylistic issue, the only command which really needs to run on the remote server is the find | xargs mv pipeline.

Code:
ssh username@server 'find source_dir -name "*.txt" | xargs -n 1000 -i {} mv {} destdir' &&
echo "Success" || mailx -s "fail" you@example.net

qmove

qmove(1B)								PBS								 qmove(1B)

NAME

       qmove - move pbs batch job

SYNOPSIS

       qmove destination job_identifier ...

DESCRIPTION

       To move a job is to remove the job from the queue in which it resides and instantiate the job in another queue.	The qmove command issues a
       Move Job batch request to the batch server that currently owns each job specified by job_identifier.

       A job in the Running , Transiting , or Exiting state cannot be moved.

OPERANDS

       The first operand is the new destinationfor
	   queue
	   @server
	   queue@server
       See the PBS ERS section , "Destination Identifiers".

       If the destination operand describes only a queue, then qmove will move jobs into the queue of the specified  name  at  the  job's  current
       server.

       If the destination operand describes only a batch server, then qmove will move jobs into the default queue at that batch server.

       If  the destination operand describes both a queue and a batch server, then qmove will move the jobs into the specified queue at the speci-
       fied server.

       All following operands are job_identifiers which specify the jobs to be moved to the new destination.  The qmove  command  accepts  one	or
       more job_identifier operands of the form:
	   sequence_number[.server_name][@server]

STANDARD ERROR

       The qmove command will write a diagnostic messages to standard error for each error occurrence.

EXIT STATUS

       Upon successful processing of all the operands presented to the qmove command, the exit status will be a value of zero.

       If the qmove command fails to process any operand, the command exits with a value greater than zero.
