After creating the junk.txt file and moving it:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ mv ~/junk.txt /mnt/CCTV/PiZero/junk.txt
mv: preserving times for '/mnt/CCTV/PiZero/junk.txt': Operation not
permitted
mv: preserving permissions for ‘/mnt/CCTV/PiZero/junk.txt’: Input/output
error

The said file was moved to my NAS box on /mnt/CCTV/PiZero and shows as
29 bytes but could not be opened. Because it is owned by root.


My NAS box is configured to accept connections and files from my CCTV
cameras, so there is not the problem.

One thing I have noticed, and why I never mentioned before , I don't know.

When I do ls on the root of pi:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ls
Desktop    Downloads  Public    Templates
Documents  Music      Pictures  python_games  Videos
pi@raspberrypi:~ $

the /mnt directory is not listed or showing, and that is because ls only
lists what is under /pi   while /mnt is under /

Just out of interest, I have created a /mnt directory under /pi, and
also CCTV/PiZero, then changed permissions and ownership for all the
directories.

I am not sure but the python script might get confused as to which /mnt
directory it should use.

Advise please
