Valerio,
Thanks for the input, however, I'm trying to use the VFS library to 
handle the file operations.  This would allow me to rename files sitting 
on NFS volumes, or WebDAV volumes.  The example you gave me was for the 
java.io.File object which would only work for local files.

Thanks anyway,

Mark
