  I am trying to copy documents from a document library to another document library in a subsite.
  
  I have this script
  
      write-host "Starting to copy" -ForegroundColor Cyan
   
      #Add the SharePoint snapin
      Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.Powershell -ea SilentlyContinue
               
      write-host "Loading powershell module" -ForegroundColor Cyan    
      $urlWebSrc = "http://mysite"
      $urlWebTgt = "http://mysite/Search"
      $listNameSrc = "Documents"
      $listNameTgt = "Archieve"
  
      $webSrc = Get-SPWeb $urlWebSrc
      $webTgt = Get-SPWeb $urlWebTgt
      
      # Get your source and destination libraries
      $source = $webSrc.Lists[$listNameSrc]
      $destination = $webTgt.Lists[$listNameTgt]
      
      # Get the collection of items to move, use source.GetItems(SPQuery) if you want a subset
      $items = $source.Items;
  
      # Get the root folder of the destination we'll use this to add the files
      $folder = $webSrc.GetFolder($destination.RootFolder.Url);
  
      # Now to move the files and the metadata
      foreach ($item in $items)
      {   
          #Get the file associated with the item     
          $file = $item.File;
          
          $newFileDest = ("{0}/{1}/{2}" -f $urlWebTgt, $folder.Url, $file.Name);
          write-host "moving to" - $newFileDest;
          
          $item.File.MoveTo($newFileDest, $true)                           
      }
  
  
  But this is not working. I am getting errors:
  
  
  > Exception calling "MoveTo" with "2" argument(s): "Folder
  > "2006Archieve" does not exist." At C:\script\archive2.ps1:41 char:26
