when using docker run i get mv: cannot stat but it works if i use /bin/bash

I need to move some files around and when i use the following command i get a connot stat error of move

docker run -v D:/PKS/potree/test/dist:/data1 -v D:/PKS/potree/test/tiles:/data2 -v D:/PKS/potree/test/tmp:/data3 oscar/mpc:v1 mv /data1/execution4/*/* /data1/tmp2 
mv: cannot stat '/data1/execution4/*/*': No such file or directory

if i instead run a /bin/bash and manually type the same mv /data1/execution4/*/* /data1/tmp2 it works.

How can this be?

Thanks to Davis to put my in the right direction.

The answer is to do as following instead:

docker run oscar/mpc:v1 /bin/bash -c "mv /data1/execution22/*/* /data1/out1/"

The shell expands your wildcards (or doesn’t, because they match nothing) before ever running docker. You’ll have to tell Docker to run a shell if you want wildcards expanded inside the container.
