FileMove doesn't work

[bestfreeware]

Everyday I export data some data (sending some keystrokes) and then store them into a YYYY.MM.DD directory.

The sendkey works but FileMove doesn't whereas it just follows the send instruction.

Why (below the whole script):

#include<Date.au3>
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)      ;1=complete, 2=quick
$title = WinGetHandle("Data Export Utility")
If $title = 0 Then
    MsgBox(0,"Not Found", "The window title specified was not found!")
Else
    $date = @YEAR & "." & @MON & "." & @MDAY 
    WinActivate($title)
    WinWaitActive($title)
    Send("^x")
    WinWaitActive("Signal")
    Send("{ENTER}")
    
    FileMove("C:\export\files\*", "C:\export\files\" & $date & "\*",8)
    
EndIf

Are no files being moved? Maybe put it in a loop since the stock return does not give much help.

Do
    Local $Move = FileMove("C:\export\files\*", "C:\export\files\" & $date & "\*", 8)
    Sleep(10)
Until $Move

bestfreeware,

should this not be:

FileMove("C:\export\files\*.*", "C:\export\files\" & $date & "\*.*",8)
