It sounds like, underneath, rename() is creating a new directory and then attempting to delete the old one, ignoring the files in the original directory. In which case, you'll have to do it the long way-- create a new directory, move the files, then delete the old directory. Oddly enough, I can't find a *nix command which will actually rename a directory. The man pages for mv, rename and such all refer only to files, not directories. Paul -- Paul M.
