That is indeed what occurred. 

Before mv:

Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1              8222624   7804608       328 100% /
/dev/hdd1             38464340   6960524  29549912  20% /home/mp3

After mv:

Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1              8222624   3817744   3987192  49% /
/dev/hdd1             38464340  10947392  25563044  30% /home/mp3

It's another one of those nuances that I'm slowly getting used to.
Thanks for the clarification.
