Yes, the user has to be in the Site Collection. If they weren't, where would we be looking? Using the Web Services, you can look in any other Site Collection, of course, as long as you are authenticated.

I added an example above, but the right answer is to change the site name, as Jaap says.

comment Restructuring a Very Large Document Library
I looked into the Explorer view, and I don't think it'll work. While the metadata is on each document in the Explorer view (I can see it by right clikcing and looking at the properties), there's no way to see it in the view. I'm on a Windows XP machine here. I don't think that Vista or Windows 7 would improve on this, would it? I may just end up with the tedious task of moving documents one by one. All 5000 of them. Erg.

comment Ghosting and unghosting in SharePoint 2010?
Do we actually believe that the files are read from the file system if ghosted? I think it's a SharePoint myth. Is there proof of it somewhere other than hearsay?

comment Setting a value on Document Check In page
It's still code, and if you do it right, I don't think it's "hacky"! There's more than one way to skin a cat (as my ninth grade algebra teacher Elmo McFadden used to say).

I think that the folder per project approach will be fine performance-wise. The 2000 item per list container "rule" wouldn't be violated. Even if I did want to go to a library per project, I think I'd have the same moving problem.

If I could touch the server in any way, there are options. But I can't. Thanks, though. It just seems to me that the Web Services ought to let me do this.

Looks like the "Move" command is probably an SP2010 behavior. Darn MSDN docs. I wish I was in charge of them! See: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd955870.aspx
