By root folder do you mean /, as opposed to the user root at /Users/<username>?

If the first, don't bother. / is the read only system volume.

ok just to clarify, I want create a service.

that Folder A has a subfolder named "new movies for Plex"
when. I right click on the sub folder, and go to services I would like a menu where it is called move subfolder contents to Folder A.

I hope that clarifies things?
