I am trying to write a Windows Batch file that will allow me to move all directories within a given source directory into a target directory that exists within that source directory.

    Robocopy (present in recent versions of windows or downloadable from the WRK) can do this, just use the /xd switch to exclude the target directory from the copy;

    robocopy c:\source\ c:\source\target\ *.* /E /XD c:\source\target\ /move
