Just to get back on this. While it adds an extra click to the cut & 
paste process it allows people to move/copy things easily without having 
to resort to our (currently) slow and clunky (for simple file 
management) filemanager.

A nice compromise I think. Ofcourse the "Clipboard" entry should be on 
top of the option list and easily recognisable. So you'd have something 
like:

[Open]
[Open With ..]
[Add ins ..]
--------------
[Copy To ..]  -> [Clipboard]
[Move To ..]     [Home]
[Rename]         [Root]
[Delete]         [Trash]
--------------
[Properties]

This allows us to eliminate 'Copy', 'Cut', 'Paste'  and 'Move to Trash'.

Thoughts?
