When trying to move games with any file larger than 2gb from one drive to another. In this case HDD to NVME they fail with errors. I looked up this issue and it seems to be a closed topic #4851. If I use the fix that is suggested in this issue I can move the games successfully. find /path/to/game -type f -size +2G, then move the file out of the game folder to an outside location. Move the game, then manually put the file back in the new directory.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Open Steam Storage Manager
  2. Select a game with a file larger than 2GB
  3. Select new drive to move files and click move
