Hey. ony my 11.10 (OO) Ubuntu computer.
I cannot always move file from my home-folder to an USB hdd :(.
Mostly are 'right-click' --> 'paste' and 'past into' out grayished, some they are not, but when i click 'paste' nothing happen, BUT i can 'crete folders' on the target USB-device ,. so I have write-rightt on the USB, and I also can move files from another USB-storage. Have problem both if I are inlogged as Unity or Gnome 3 fallback.

It's not always, but very very often, and sometimes copy file from home to the USB work, but not move.

/Cheers

I have the same problem sometimes on a new computer, but after reboot it beguinne to work again. Is it a bug in Unity/OO?

Open up a bash shell (terminal), and just use the "mv" command..
