Comment on mv *.jpg is complete bullshit.

Note that it is recommended to use “./” before a raw * in globs to avoid filenames beginning with “-” being interpreted by the command as special arguments

Jackpot! I think! Based on OP’s reply to me, this is almost definitely the real problem:

mv *.jpg /mnt/Example/Pictures

Where it will then die with an error like mv: invalid option – ‘1’ depending on the contents of the current directory.
