Thank you for your suggestions! I re-built criu from the github repository, and when trying to execute the "lxc move" command, I now obtain the following error message:
error: Error transferring container data: checkpoint failed:
checkpoint failed
The lxc.log file indicates: "lxc_criu - criu.c:criu_ok:405 - couldn't find devices.deny = c 5:1 rwm"
Would you know what causes it, and how to fix it?
Thank you!

Right, liblxc uses options now (--lsm-profile) that aren't in any
released version of criu.

Yep, liblxc is smart enough to check criu's version output for the
right patchlevel, so a sufficiently new source build of CRIU should
work.
