I had the same issue with the following setup:

I was working on Windows 11 I have a Python project in WSL I opened the Python project (located in WSL) using VSCode on Windows The program I ran uses subprocess.Popen() to execute the trufflehog command My VSCode terminal was running under the current (non-root) user I encountered the error: "cannot move binary (exit status 1)"

How I solved it: I logged into the VSCode terminal as root and reran the program. This resolved the issue.

I believe the problem was due to permission issues.
