Indeed. Thanks to all for the helpful replies. In the end, being on a deadline to complete this idiotic task (moving nested shared IMAP folders), I just emerged a comparatively lightweight file manager, 'pcmanfm' (as the "server" has some X libs on it) and did it via ssh with "-Y"... possibly the least secure option, but as was suggested, the easiest.
