Does :!mv file folder work?

The full test used is:

if !executable(g:netrw_localmovecmd) && g:netrw_localmovecmd !~
'^'.expand("$COMSPEC").'\s'
call
netrw#ErrorMsg(s:ERROR,"g:netrw_localmovecmd<".g:netrw_localmovecmd.">
not executable on your system, aborting",90)
return
endif

Please try

vim .
:echo !executable(g:netrw_localmovecmd) && g:netrw_localmovecmd !~
'^'.expand("$COMSPEC").'\s'

That's the only place in netrw that issues the message about localmvcmd
not being executable.

P.S. netrw is up to v153a
(http://www.drchip.org/astronaut/vim/index.html#NETRW). You could try
:help netrw-debug but, as I said, that code snippet above is the only
place that message you're getting is given.
