I would like to override the template file used for the inventory tab in admin product edit section.

This is located by default at:

/app/design/adminhtml/default/default/template/catalog/product/tab/inventory.phtml

I have made a custom module to achieve this and done all the requisite steps:

Config.xml

    <adminhtml>
       <layout>
            <updates>
                <vish_stockMovements>
                    <file>vish_stockmovements.xml</file>
                </vish_stockMovements>
            </updates>
        </layout>
    </adminhtml>

vish_stockmovements.xml

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
     <layout>
      <adminhtml_catalog_product_edit>
        <reference name="tab_inventory">
         <action method="setTemplate"> 
           <template>vish/catalog/product/tab/inventory.phtml</template> 
         </action>
        </reference>
      </adminhtml_catalog_product_edit>
     </layout>

I have debugged and deduced the layout update is being called successfully. So, looks like a reference issue. What would the reference be for overriding this template file?

The reference name tab_inventory doesn't exist in handle adminhtml_catalog_product_edit. The inventory template is set directly in the __construct() method of class Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Catalog_Product_Edit_Tab_Inventory.

A simpler and easier approach is to create a custom adminhtml theme. You can find detailed instructions here. This way you can override any template by copying the corresponding core file to your custom theme folder and modifying them.
