File System Task Move Directory deletes parent destination folder

$

I attempted to use Move Directory to move the contents of one directory to another.  I encountered the 'different volume' issue that others have experienced.  While this error is frustrating I can work past this particular issue.  My more pressing question is why is the move directory command overwriting a destination directory?  

When I setup the Move directory file task I provided two vars to hold src and dest location:

dest var: \\testserver\output\

src var: \\devserver\dev\testfiles\

Set overwrite destination = TRUE

Why would Move Directory overwrite output folder at destination?  Shouldn't it only overwrite if the testfiles directory exists at destination?  This is very frustrating since I cannot find enough information in the official documentation to understand what is happening here.  

Is it just me or does the documentation for Move directory seem.....incomplete?  

Thanks for any assistance!!
