You might want to try out using rename(1).  Note that I believe this only
works if you are within the same partition, and it may not follow all
symbolic links.  There's a barrage of error returns from a rename(), so
take a look at what is in the manual.  (Sun has a massive list of return
codes from this call.)

Hope this helps.
