try apt-move localupdate, apt-move got's the package list from apt-get then, but the mirrors lines in apt-move.conf should correspond with that ones in /etc/apt/sources.list, maybe fetching the package lists fails a bit
are you sure there stable packages in /var/cache/apt/archives, don't you run apt-get clean or are they removed by dselect?
any messages about skipped packages, like would happen if packages are not listed in fetched packages file?
please show some output about moving/not-moving packages, possibly a complete dump of it's output as attachment

it does, woody as apt-move 4.x instead of 3.x shipped with potato, maybe that release will work, it has a quite different apt-move.conf format so i can't send you mine
