I am being posted to Ottawa from Halifax sometime this summer. IAW the CF Leave manual i am authorized 2 days for HG&E and 3 days for admin by both the gaining and losing unit. i know i am also entitled to a number of days to move but i need the reference for how many days i get to travel as my unit thinks that the days i am authorized for HG&E and admin by the CF Leave manual are the same days that i also need to move to Ottawa.

According to Google, it's 1435km from Halifax to Ottawa. Confirm that with the official distance guide. But, if it's correct, that's a 3 day drive: 500km per day (and up to 600 on the last one).

Travel days
CF members are authorized one calendar day:
for trips of 500 km or less;
for each 500 km traveled; and
when travel on the last day is in excess of 500 km but less than 600 km.
Note: When CF members arrive at destination in advance of the authorized travel days, TNL ceases on the date of arrival at destination.

It's 3 days, by my calculation:
Day 1: 500 km
Day 2: 500 km
Day 3: 435 km
If it was 1100km, you'd only get 2 days:
Day 1: 500 km
Day 2: 600 km
Day 1: 500 km
Day 2: 500 km
Day 3: 435 km
If it was 1100km, you'd only get 2 days:
Day 1: 500 km
Day 2: 600 km

Be careful with your, "entitled to entitlements" arguments.
Both the losing unit and gaining units may vice shall approve up to .... days leave to accommodate the move.
This indicates a unit on either end might adjust those available days based on their requirements of you.
Needs of the service and all that.

But remember that it is important that your travel days are duty days -- not leave days. Your admin can be taken care of during Special Leave (Relocation) -- your driving between your old and new duty locations cannot. This is potentially a critical detail if you get into a car accident during your move, and you get into whether or not your injuries from the crash are duty related. Car crashes on leave are a different thing entirely.

Section 5.11 Special Leave (Relocation)
5.11.04 Withholding or limiting leave
Special Leave (Relocation) in consideration of a compulsory relocation on posting or attached-posting may be denied, withheld or limited but only because of exigencies of the service such as time constraints in the event of a rapid deployment or operational reasons beyond the control of the CO. The authority that withholds or limits Special Leave (Relocation) in these situations shall be no lower than the Formation Commander or, in consideration of deployments to an international operation overseas, the force employing operational commander.
Special Leave (Relocation) in consideration of a member being sent away from their home unit on duty for operations, training exercises, career courses or incremental taskings, on a status other than posting or attached-posting (such as, but not limited to, Temporary Duty), may be denied, withheld or limited at the discretion of the CO.
Special Leave (Relocation) that is withheld or limited and cannot be reinstated prior to relocation is forfeited.
For the OP's original question:
5.11.10 Relative to a posting
The Special Leave (Relocation) granted remains exclusive of and distinct from the travel time authorized for the relocation of members and families between locations.
Annex B, Table 1, 1.1 covers the applic days.
With respect, your unit is incorrect.
