it works ;)
But one issue, when i changed to FileUtils.mv Dir.glob(src), destination 
because i needed to move the files, it shows a big error msg:
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/fileutils.rb:505:in `rename': Permission denied - 
C:/movtes
t/testing/20080321 or U:/test_1/20080321 (Errno::EACCES)

        from testing.rb:42
        from testing.rb:32:in `each'
        from testing.rb:32

It seems like some problem with the access rights.. Any advice?
I'm still quite new to ruby so ya, but I'm really thankful for the help 
so far though. ;)
