Summary: Unable to overwrite file with findertools.move

Initial Comment:
I am revising a application that was working on MOSX 10.2, but 
Python v2.3 appears to have subtle broke a few items...

if mac_mode:
	findertools.move (old_path + filename, new_path)

Is dying with the following error...


Main, filename : 01_100_QTSKINS_L_12.JPG
Moving
-------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Panther:Users:benjamin:Desktop:Python:finders:re-dup-
file.py", line 102, in ?
    move_file ( pathname, new_dir, filename )
  File "Panther:Users:benjamin:Desktop:Python:finders:re-dup-
file.py", line 53, in move_file
    findertools.move (old_path + filename, new_path)
  File "mac:Applications:Python 2.2.2:Mac:Lib:findertools.py", line 
74, in move
    return finder.move(src_fss, to=dst_fss)
  File "mac:Applications:Python 2.2.2:Mac:Lib:lib-scriptpackages:
Finder:Standard_Suite.py", line 294, in move
    raise aetools.Error, aetools.decodeerror(_arguments)
aetools.Error: (-10000, 'errAEEventFailed', None)

As far as I can tell, the move command is not allowing a overwrite 
situation...

If this is expected behavior, is there any way we could add a flag 
for allowing overwrite?
