[sudo-users] problem with allowing mv

hey all,

I have a directory where a bunch of xml files are getting saved and need
to allow www-data to move those files to another location for
processing. My current sudoers has an entry as follows:

www-data ALL = (root) NOPASSWD: /bin/mv /home/m/madsack.de/pkraut/haz/*
*, /bin/chown www-data.
/var/www/dev/m/mol/haz24.bluedotmedia.de/html/xml/new/*

The problem is that the command that needs to be executed in the script is:

sudo /bin/mv /home/m/madsack.de/pkraut/haz/*.xml .

and I cat the "cannot stat ... no such file or directory" error when
attempting it.

any ideas?


here is my sudo info:
