By the way, could there have been an even *simpler* way to move folders.

Perhaps I could have just used a terminal and typed in a symbolic link?
"ln -s /oldfilespec /newfilespec".

Does anyone here know whether it could have been that simple?
$ mv /storage/DCIM /storage/extSdCard/data/pic/DCIM
$ ln -s /storage/extSdCard/data/pic/DCIM /storage/DCIM

FAT (fat16, fat32, vfat) filesystems do not support symbolic (or hard) links.

If you can format your external card as ext2, ext3 or ext4, it
may work with Android (since the underlying kernel is linux).
