Hi.

What do you mean by "standard folder"?

Unless you're root, you can't move a directory that you don't own, from a directory that you don't own, unless you have write permissions to both:

Code:
/root # cd /usr
/usr # ll -d . lib
drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 Jun 28 04:43 .
drwxr-xr-x 69 root root 36864 Oct 17 08:22 lib

/usr # su - scott
/home/scott $ cd /usr
/usr $ mv lib /
mv: cannot move `lib' to `/lib': Permission denied
/usr $ exit

/usr # chmod 777 . lib
/usr # su - scott
/home/scott $ cd /usr

/usr $ mv lib ~
/usr $ ls -ld ~/lib
drwxrwxrwx 69 root root 36864 Oct 17 08:22 lib

You should look at tightening up the security on your directories.
