mv command not found bug

Code:
foreach x ( *.foo)

        echo "move file?"
        set move=$<
        if($move == y) then
         echo "enter new pathname:"
         set path=$<
         mv $x $path/$x
endif
end


ok guys, im creating this script so i can move files with *.foo extensions and *.bar extension, to a path a user enters.
but im getting this error "mv command not found"
btw, it is half-way done. only for the *.foo files

SHTOOL-MOVE.TMP(1)					      GNU Portable Shell Tool						SHTOOL-MOVE.TMP(1)

NAME
shtool-move - GNU shtool enhanced mv(1) replacement SYNOPSIS
shtool move [-v|--verbose] [-t|--trace] [-e|--expand] [-p|--preserve] src-file dst-file DESCRIPTION
This is a mv(1) style command enhanced with the ability to rename multiple files in a single operation and the ability to detect and not touch existing equal destinations files, thus preserving timestamps. OPTIONS
The following command line options are available. -v, --verbose Display some processing information. -t, --trace Enable the output of the essential shell commands which are executed. -e, --expand Expand asterisk in src to be used as ""%"n" (where n is 1,2,...) in dst-file. This is useful for renaming multiple files at once. -p, --preserve Detect src-file and dst-file having equal content and not touch existing destination files, thus perserving timestamps. This is useful for applications that monitor timestamps, i.e. suppress make(1L) repeating actions for unchanged files. EXAMPLE
# shell script shtool move -v -e '*.txt' %1.asc # Makefile scanner.c: scanner.l lex scanner.l shtool move -t -p lex.yy.c scanner.c HISTORY
The GNU shtool move command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 1999 for GNU shtool. SEE ALSO
shtool(1), mv(1), make(1). 18-Jul-2008 shtool 2.0.8 SHTOOL-MOVE.TMP(1)
