mv: cannot stat ‘/home/cmccabe/Desktop/NGS/API/6-10-2016{bam/validation,bedtools': No such file or directory

Hello cmccabe,

I think you should use 2 times double quotes, because I could see in between there is space in path provided to mv command, so if directory is having space in it's name itself, could you please try following then.
Code:
 mv -v /home/cmccabe/Desktop/NGS/API/"6-10-2016{bam/{validation,coverage},bedtools "/media/cmccabe/"My Book Western Digital"

Thanks,
R. Singh
