In copy/move, is anyone getting the result:

{'error': {'code': 'invalidRequest', 'message': 'ObjectHandle is Invalid', 'innerError': {'code': 'invalidResourceId', 'date': '2024-10-14T19:47:29', 'request-id': '9e0cd4a3-eefc-4b47-af28-91812657d481', 'client-request-id':

Im getting this issue whenever I include the parentReference (I've triple checked the IDs)

Note, the copy/move works find if I don't include the parentReference (i.e. copy/move within the directory)
