I'm a bit confused, are you performing a Directory.Move on the log file?

string srcFile = @"C:$Sherpa Software\Altitude\Agents\SP\Logs\2018_04_06.log";

System.IO.IOException: (267) The directory name is invalid: [C:$Sherpa Software\Altitude\Agents\SP\Logs\2018_04_06.log

@warrenlbrown: I guess the error is: (267) The directory name is invalid, and not a Directory.Move error. Could you confirm/clarify or close this issue.

This is a bug/regression. Note MS docs https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.directory.move(v=vs.110).aspx. src and dest can both be files

Thank you.

Ok, it's clear now what you want to do.
