What is wrong with the following alias ? :

alias rm="/bin/mv \!* /usr/spool/limbo"

mv tells me: "Target must be directory"

Ok, I thought, it's not like csh it's like ksh:

alias rm="/bin/mv \$* /usr/spool/limbo"
"rm foo"

mv tells me: "mv: foo exists"

What am I doing wrong ?
I can't use a function cause of the SIGIOT I get (the other posting)
