okay. The <code>Move</code> option requires <strong>Camel 2.10.1</strong> 
onwards, and the corresponding <code>moveExisting</code> option to be 
configured as well. The option <code>eagerDeleteTargetFile</code> can be used

otherwise causing the move operation to fail. The <code>Move</code> option will 
move any existing files, before writing the target file. <code>TryRename</code>

to the actual n
