Hi René,
Sorry for the very long time to reply and thank you for preparing and sending
me that VM, now I can easily reproduce the issue, it's not possible to move a
non-empty file from desktop to the user's home folder.
With the attached sample I was able to confirm that GLib thinks the home folder
(i.e. /mount1/name) is read-only, its output is:
is /mount1/name/content read only? FALSE
is /mount1/name read only? TRUE
is /mount1/name/Desktop read only? FALSE

I tried Nautilus, and it also does not allow one to paste files to home, no
errors, the Paste option is just disabled.
Nemo complains it cannot get information for file
“/mount1/name/Desktop/content”: No such file or directory.

With all this info, I'm almost sure it's a GLib issue, it's wrongly reporting
the home directory to be read-only.
I tried my best, but I couldn't find any relevant issue on GNOME's gitlab[1] or
the old bugzilla[2], so I ask you to report upstream.
