Well, what was your $! when the rename failed? If it was "cross-device link",
then you attempted something that you really can't do.
But to say in general that "rename" is perhaps broken is a bit too
much for me to let stand with no comment.
My advice to the original poster: use rename, but be aware that it can
only rename within a disk, not across disks.
