I need help with processing a file with xargs.  The file contains a
list of strings each prefixed with an *, one to a line.

*filestring01
*filestring02
...
*filestringnn

I want to match all files in a particular directory based on the
regexp pattern that this creates and move them into another
directory.  My original take on the syntax was this:

cat inputfile | xargs mv /directory/level/one/'{}' \
                         /directory/level/one/two

but this gives an error:
mv: when moving multiple files, last argument must be a directory
Try `mv --help' for more information.

It does not matter if if append a '/' to the target directory or
not.  Does anyone here know what I am doing wrong WRT to the syntax
of the xargs command?

Regards,
Jim
