Err, that means it's already as much in /opt as it's going to get. both /opt and /home are mounted outside of the rootfs and on the main mmc/flash chip. So ~/.curseofwar is already "optified" (unless ~ here stands for root user's home, aka /root, but I presume you mean /home/user ) So if you wish to move it for optification/not-clobbering-root-fs purposes, I recomment leaving it alone where it is, since it's already not on the rootfs.
