Neither nor: "No such file or directory".
It seems as if I have no permission accessing this directory; but I'm root.
I created the file in my root's directory and tried to move it, same 
result.
Note: I tried this with a GRML 2009-05-RC1 CD, and it works besides the 
fact that the umlauts and most of the punct chars are not spoken at all. 
However the Espeakup version is still 0.4 on this distro.
