Workaround to MS recursive paremeter bug

I was going nuts trying to figure out with what was wrong with a couple
statements that used the recursive parameter. When I was trying to move or
copy items with that parameter and the "-include" or "-exclude" it wouldn't
do it recursively. I found on another website that there is a known bug MS is
working on. Here are workaround exampels:

get-childitem C:\ -include *.mp3,*.ogg,*.wma,*.mpg -recurse | Move-Item
-destination C:\test

get-childitem C:\ -include *.mp3,*.ogg,*.wma,*.mpg -recurse | Copy-Item
-destination C:\test

get-childitem C:\ -include *.mp3,*.ogg,*.wma,*.mpg -recurse | Remove-Item
-destination C:\test

Hope this helps.
