How to move a document to another folder in a SharePoint library using web services

Question

I am desperately trying to move a document in a document library from one folder to another (yes, in the same library). All this needs to be done through web services.

I use the UpdateListItems method with batch XML as follows:

<Batch>
 <Method ID="1" Cmd="Update">
    <Field Name="ID">14</Field>
    <Field Name="ServerUrl">personal/blabla/Documents/CT-5/image.jpg</Field>
 </Method>
</Batch>

I tried updating various fields instead of ServerUrl above - no one was lucky ...

Thanks for any tips ...

If this is a show stopper, you can take a look at CopyMove for SharePoint . It also comes with a web service that allows you to copy or move documents, items and folders without losing any metadata.
