Legacy can't read your mind and doesn't know how you rename a file. The lilnks to the files are stored in the database using the file name and path as it is at the time you link it.
Legacy can, however, find pictures that have been *moved*. If you change the file name through Picture Center, then the name is changed in the database, but not if you change it outside of Legacy. Sadly, you'll have to manually relink each file that has had a name change.
