if I mount the db in the original location then everything works fine is this only happing when I try to move the mailbox db. The transaction logs moved fine

check this and then one quick fix is to gracefully shutdown the database, make an offline copy and move the database to new location... once this is done change the location in adsiedit to point to new location...
