I don't have a system to try this on right now, but you probably can't
move /lib back because /bin/mv is a dynamic executable, and requires
either the original /lib or the symlink.  Kim could try:

  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/misskim/oldfloppy/lib
  export PATH=/home/misskim/oldfloppy/bin:$PATH

Then all the executables in /home/misskim/oldfloppy/bin should work,
including ln and mv, without requiring /lib to be there.
