I think I detect an impedance mismatch...

By "not mess with the replication factor" do you mean that after the move:
the file will have the default replication factor for the file system
the file will retain a replication factor previously set on the file

You told Kevin that he was correct and I think he meant the first one, but I read what you said as the second one.
