Thanks for pointing out that I needed to pass the complete path, that was what
was missing .
It works great now.
Someone had pointed out that I needed to invoke the c shell command, that is
not
necessary and I don't think that it would work because I was passing the file
names as
parameters.
Using renameTo also helped.
It was all in the complete path.
thanks for all the help
