arg list too long, on MV command with directory holding 30.000+ files

I'm trying to move all files, in a given directory, to another directory. Special thing about is, is that this directory holds a lot of files, in this case somewhat more than 30.000 files. The command runs for a while, then states "arg list too long", and stops. No file at all is being copied !
