You don't tell us the spawn command you tried, so I can't say what causes your syntax error. (Unless you didn't get that far because you really did write the g=/home/mark/matchup/MIRS_AMSU line as above, without quotes.)

Anyway, something like the following should do it (untested):

g='/home/mark/matchup/MIRS_AMSU'
f=file_search('*.nc',count=nfiles)
if nfiles gt 0 then begin
flist = join(f,' ')
spawn, 'mv ' + strjoin(f,' ') + g
end
