Beet move unable to find files, creating incorrect album names

[Runeii]

I'm trying to move my Beets library from /music to /Incoming, using: beet -vv move -d /incoming

This ran for the first couple of hundred tracks, but then has started to fail for all tracks. The command complains that there is "No such file or directory": b'/music/Actress/R.I.P/01 - R.I.P_.mp3', but I can confirm this does exist and is not behind any restricted permissions.

Weirder, it seems to be creating weirdly named folders in the output directory:

root@84de8ff30abe:/incoming/Actress# ls
 88   Ghettoville  'Grey Over Blue'  'Hazyville [15090]'  'Hazyville [15091]'  'R.I.P. [15092]'  'R.I.P. [15093]'

To confirm, in the above example, the source folder has a single directory for the albums Hazyville and R.I.P – and neither is suffixed with numbers in square brackets.

On the chance it was this single artist, I ran beet rm Actress and tried to continue the task, but it instead complains about the first track after this artist.

Problem

Running this command in verbose (-vv) mode:

$ beet -vv (... paste here ...)

Led to this problem:

These error traces can be a little misleading if you don't read super closely. Your error above is actually more than one error, where one causes the next, which causes the next:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

The first error that occurs is this one:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/lsiopy/lib/python3.11/site-packages/beets/util/__init__.py", line 496, in move

Python is unhappy about /music and /incoming being on separate "devices". What a device means depends on your setup. Are you running Ubuntu on WSL or just plain Ubuntu?
