I think you better be checking with both Amex and your insurance company instead of asking here! 
I don't see anything within my Amex agreement that would cover the value of the items being moved, although I suppose, through a big stretch, they might cover the cost of the moving services you charged on your card if your stuff never got to the other end. If you read the cardmember agreement, references are generally for tangible items purchased with the card within a given timeframe.
And the first question that popped into my head when I saw the question about the homeowners coverage was "What home?" With a couple of exceptions, the household items covered by your policy are pretty much assumed to be damaged or destroyed at the same time as your home sustained damage. If your household items are in a moving van, they're no longer a "matched set" with the house.
Calls to both are in order, but you might want to begin preparing yourself mentally for coughing up the other $600. They are interesting questions, though, so when you get an answer, let us know.
