:) that is the part which confuses everyone when working with this 
module (myself included, when I began using it).

The answer: it simply works!  OpenSIPS will continue writing to the 
*moved *file until you *rotate* it, as the "move" operation simply 
changes the inode of the file (its reference, hook, pointer, etc.), 
without touching its contents.  This seems to work well on ext 
filesystems, such as ext4.  I have a feeling this is not the case for 
all filesystems, though.
