I do not think it is a good idea to return a negative count for a
backwards move; that is too likely to break client code that parses
command result strings and isn't expecting minus signs. The client
should know whether he issued MOVE FORWARD or MOVE BACKWARDS anyway,
so just returning es_processed ought to be sufficient.

Otherwise I think the patch is probably OK.
