Subject: Mv after tar in a shell script problems

Am I losing my mind, or shouldn't this "just work"(tm) in a shell script?:

 #!/bin/sh
 # ^^ behaves the same if it's /bin/bash

 tar xvjf file.tar.bz2
 mv dir_name_file.tar.bz2_untars_to new_dir_name

???

About half the time I get "Permission denied" from mv, the other half it
works fine.  If I do it by hand, even after a "Permission denied", it works
fine.  This is with both the current DLL snapshot and 1.5.16-1, current
coreutils.  I must be missing something pretty basic here, because
configures etc are working fine.
