First: why using <apply> for a single file? You can easier use <exec> or in
that case
<move>.

Second: <apply> adds the actual file (absolute path) at the end of the
command.
So your command would be 
    rename abc.txt test.txt c:\abc.txt
(you can see it if you starts with -verbose) which is the wrong syntax.
