I also wish to keep the exact folder structure as in current location.
I'm thinking you need to be root but I might be mistaken, and then use the mv command in terminal;

Code:
sudo gainroot
mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/N900/* /home/user/MyDocs/N900
That should do the trick Coffee mate

If it doesn't (and I'm still earning this lark) try the following:

Code:
cd /home/user/MyDocs
mkdir N900
mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/N900/* /home/user/MyDocs/N900
HTH
