Are you sure the food stockpile is accessible and accepts the type of food you're producing? Are you using burrows?

I think what happens is the barrels are assigned to the food stockpile before they are actually moved there. So dwarves will start filling them with food before they move the barrel. If you wait, they should eventually move it to the correct stockpile I believe.......

"Are you sure the food stockpile is accessible and accepts the type of food you're producing? Are you using burrows?"
Food stockpile is easily accessible and nearly empty.
Food stockpile accepts all food items except blood and seeds (I have a different stockpile for seeds, and I have no barrels of blood).
I have a burrow with no dwarves assigned to it.

How long did you wait for the barrels to get moved? GauHelldragon is correct that it can take a while sometimes.

I haven't seen any evidence of the barrels getting moved at all, except when I set the furniture stockpile to not accept barrels.

Do you have all types of hauling enabled in [o]rders?

And several idle dwarfs.

Huh. If you create a new food stockpile with no custom settings, do they haul food to that?

I've seen this behaviour before, it's like what GauHelldragon said - they don't haul the barrel to the food, they haul the food to the barrel in the stockpile. Moving the food barrel from the furniture stockpile to the food stockpile gets added to the list of stuff to do, but if there's a lot of stuff already on the list it might take awhile. The problem would probably vanish if Toady made moving food more important than say, hauling rocks.

I don't know. The fortress that was having this problem got steamrolled by a goblin ambush that killed all eighty of my dwarves.

Okay, I'm marking this one "no change required" since the trail has gone cold. Get a save next time.
