#62538: Coreutils mv discards extended attributes when moving to a different volume

Hello :)
The `mv` version included with coreutils in MacPorts (also Homebrew, just
for reference) discards extended attributes when moving a file from one
volume to another (not intra-volume). This doesn't happen with the OS X
bundled `mv`, or with coreutils on Ubuntu that I tested on, too.
