Failed: New homedir already exists, all actions canceled (was this account already moved?)

Symptoms

Failed: New homedir already exists, all actions canceled (was this account already moved?)

Description 

This is caused by a directory with the same name as the account existing in the target home directory. For example, if you are trying to move cPanel account "ACCOUNT" to /home and /home/ACCOUNT already exists.

Workaround

The directory will need to be moved out of the way. The command below would resolve this if you were trying to move cPanel account "ACCOUNT" to /home.

mv /home/ACCOUNT /home/ACCOUNT.backup
