Breisgauer After this post last year, I had several more support calls and tickets regarding this issue - always with the same frustrating result even beyond first level support: MS is considering this as "by design". Best statement of one of these support guys: "Document sets are different, so it cannot be expected that Move To work the same way as it does with folders".
If anybody can somehow sort this out with MS, I'll buy her/him a beer. But at least it is good to know that I am/my clients are not the only one, who is struggling with this issue.
