It wasn't accross file systems.   It was files in the target dir.   The 
problem was that in SOME cases, some previous plugins are not closing 
the streams or SOMETHING leaving the jar files locked so they couldn't 
be replaced. (on on Windows)    In SOME cases, just calling System.gc() 
to cause the old streams to be garbage collected allowed the rename to 
work.   In other cases,  the workaround was to overwrite the original 
with the copy if the rename didn't work.   That worked fine.

The problem is that FileUtils.rename attempts to delete the "to" file 
first and throws an exception if it fails.   If it's locked, it won't 
delete and thus won't work.
