bug#10284: 23.2; "Renaming: permission denied" file-error in Windows

[LynX]

Hello,

I found that dired in Windows does not provide you possibility to move a 
directory to a new location if this new location resides on a different 
logical disk.

For instance you have two opened dired buffers: `c:\dir1' and
`f:\dir2'. To move some files from `dir1' to `dir2' you can use "R", but
if you try to move some directory from `dir1' to `dir2' you will get
`Renaming: permission denied' error message.

For more details and temporary workaround please refer to the emacs-devel
mail list:

Regards,
LX
