At least on Unix, the preferred answer is to just move them to the new
place, and then build a symlink to redirect the filenames.  So for
instance, if you had the files in a directory /home/listserv/notebooks/foobar/
you could do the following:

1) create a new filesystem /notebooks
2) Move /home/listserv/notebooks/* to /notebooks using 'tar' or whatever.
3) rename/remove/whatever /home/listserv/notebooks
4) ln -s /notebooks /home/listserv/notebooks

and everything should work.

Can't help you for the other platforms, sorry...
