In this situation you have two possible penalties, false start (dead ball) or illegal motion (foul at the snap). The difference bewteen the two is the judgement of the covering official. You have to decide whether the action is "simulating the snap" or the player starting his motion too late.
Huskerblue, in your situation, I would not have had a flag as I read your description of the play. I do not know how "abrupt" the fullbabck's first movement was. To me that is the determining action that will make me decide between FS or no flag. If you do not believe that his initial movemment was simulating a snap then the rest of what he did is legal.
These types of plays are HTBT.
