The script should recursively go through the rootpath directory and find all files with *.mp4 extension. Print the list of files with the directory structure. Then move the files to the destDir directory. The problem I run into is when trying to move the files to the new directory. Only files in the rootPath directory will be moved to the new destination. Files in subdirectories under rootPath causes errors:
/Volumes/VoigtKampff/Temp/TEST/level01_test.mp4
/Volumes/VoigtKampff/Temp/TEST/Destination/2levelstest02.mp4
Traceback (most recent call last):
