Should have just let MovPic deal with that. You leave existing situation alone. Then you create a new import path based on UNC to a new location. Then you close MovPic, and move all the files over. Then you launch MovPic back up. It will notice the new movies on new location, but when it calculates the SHA1 hash it will notice it matches the movie it already had in database, so seeing as it also notices that movie is no longer available on the old import path, it will update just the path and retain date imported, watched flag and all the other info.

You can recognize the files this is happening to by their red color inside the "Movie Manager" list and you can use "File Info" to verify the path updated.

It's also possible to make a folder switch directly in config, since I'm sure your current UNC path setup points to the same location, however I personally kept running into issues on older versions of MovPic (it's most likely fixed now in current version, I just never tested it again). Just use the drop down options on the import paths to activate that method.
