   "Move" can only be used when source and destination are on the   
   same drive. To avoid problems with different drive letters   
   assigned to the external drive, I would do it manually:   
      
   After connecting the external drive, use Windows Explorer to   
   copy all the jpgs to a local folder, for example to d:\my_jpgs   
   and use:   
      
   set SourceDir=d:\my_jpgs\   
   set TargetDir1=d:\my_jpgs\new1\   
   set TargetDir2=d:\my_jpgs\new2\   
      
   in your batch file (don't forget to create the two target   
   directories or create them in the batch if they don't exists).   
      
   If all is ok, use Explorer to delete the jpgs on the external   
   drive and to unmount the drive.
