Is there a program which can move invisible files?

i dont think so. it would be a bit against the paradigm of invisible files.

though i am not sure about the list editor in filebuddy (i am not at my mac now)

checked it now; yes, filebuddy´s list window does it.

between different volumes it is not too comfortable though.

using filebuddy as browser and editor is always a bit dangerous - it even has a destructive delete function.

You can use ResEdit's "Get File / Folder Info" menu command to make a file visible. Then you can use the Finder to move it somewhere else. Use ResEdit again to turn it invisible again once it is at the destination.
