BMove won't work in Exchange if using permanenturl   

I'm trying to perform a webDav call to move selected messages into a 
destination folder and does anybody know why BMOVE will work when i use the 
regular folder name as the request parameters, and it won't work when i use 
the folder permanentURL ? 

Below you can see the two requests, the first one does NOT work, and the 
second one works ok:

BMOVE

Re: BMove won't work in Exchange if using permanenturl   

Unfortunately by design.  Permanent a.k.a. Flat URLs can't be used as:

- destination of *MOVE or *COPY operations
- a source for a DELETE

I assume that the application you're writing has access to the DAV:href of 
the folder, so why use permanent URLs in this case?
