Help with Snapshot of camera -> SMB Share

Configuration
1

So I got the following Action part of the automation saving onto the local pi directory:

alias: FortCam1_Person_Photo
description: Take snapshot of stream when a person is detected
trigger:
  - type: turned_on
    platform: device
    device_id: *********
    entity_id: binary_sensor.fortcam1_person_detected
    domain: binary_sensor
condition: []
action:
  - service: camera.snapshot
    data:
      filename: >-
        /config/www/tmp/PERSON_FortCam1_{{
        now().strftime("%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S")}}.jpg
    target:
      entity_id: camera.fortcam1_high
mode: single

Then thought to move the file to an SMD share with the following syntax:

- service: camera.snapshot
  data:
    filename: /config/www/tmp/PERSON_FortCam1_{{ now().strftime("%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S")}}.jpg
  target:
    entity_id: camera.fortcam1_high
- service: smb.mkdir
  data:
    path: '//FortData/HomeAssistant/Backups/CameraBackups'
    username: HomeAssistant
    password: !secret HomeAssistant_FortData
    domain: WORKGROUP
- service: smb.file_move
  data:
    src_path: '/config/www/tmp/PERSON_FortCam1_{{ now().strftime("%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S") }}.jpg'
    dst_path: '//FortData/HomeAssistant/Backups/CameraBackups/PERSON_FortCam1_{{ now().strftime("%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S") }}.jpg'
    username: HomeAssistant
    password: !secret HomeAssistant_FortData
    domain: WORKGROUP

But I fail to be able to save the YAML - Any assistance would be great!

Where did you get the smb service - I want to do something similar and this looks like it might work but can’t find how to enable the smb.file_move part
