Hmm, AFAIK it isn't really a problem since the database will still record the old location and everything will be well -- at least as far as database integrity goes.

File copying dialogs allow retrying for general errors, of which there are many, but since calibre knows the move should work the only good explanation is a process locking the file. Which can be difficult to deal with, since locks can accidentally persist when they shouldn't and require file unlocking software to fix. Alternatively, obscure background processes can be holding the lock.
So I am not sure how useful a retry facility would be -- but I guess if @Kovid adds one, it certainly won't hurt.
