    This indicates that no alias for "cp" and "mv" was set when you try to
    unalias.

    My /root/.bashrc contains by default:

    # User specific aliases and functions
     
    alias rm='rm -i'
    alias cp='cp -i'
    alias mv='mv -i

    And when I run following test script it works as expected.

    $ cat testsh.sh

    #!/bin/bash
     
    # echo all aliases set
    alias | wc -l
    alias | egrep 'cp|mv'
     
    # remove aliases for cp and mv
    echo ""
    echo "unalias cp and mv"
    echo ""
    unalias cp
    unalias mv
     
    # echo all aliases set
    alias | wc -l
    alias | egrep 'cp|mv'

    ## script end
