Applescript Move current file to Folder
This might be a bit of a sledgehammer approach by Applescript compared to Automator's 'move' command, but as that's how the OP approaches it...

To do it as an Automator Service, so it's easy to hotkey it…

'Service receives selected 'files or folders' in 'Finder''.

on run {input, parameters}   

    tell application "Finder"
        set selected_items to selection
        set theFolder to ((((path to desktop folder) as text) &amp; "test") as alias)
        repeat with x in selected_items
            move x to theFolder
        end repeat      
    end tell    

    return input
end run
