Disappearing files.

I am building a class that handles files. When I call copySelfWithInit("path/to/folder/") and then renameSelf("boo.pdf") the file disappears. However, if I call renameSelf("boo.tif") and then copySelfWithInit("path/to/folder/") it works. 

Perhaps the copy is not really complete? Thanks in advance for help. I'm a newbie so any comments are welcome.

import java.io.*;

public class mainMethod {


public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {


// this works...

Item item = new Item("/Users/kevin/Desktop/BOS70085_2up.pdf");
item.renameSelf("boo.pdf");
item.copySelfWithInit(new File("/Users/kevin/Desktop/Fonts/"));

//this causes file to disappear...
Item item = new Item("/Users/kevin/Desktop/BOS70085_2up.pdf");
item.copySelfWithInit(new File("/Users/kevin/Desktop/Fonts/"));
item.renameSelf("boo.pdf");


}
}


-------------------------------------------------

import java.io.*;

public class Item {


private File file;


public Item(String itemPath) {
file = new File(itemPath);
} // end Item();


public void renameSelf(String n) {
File t = new File(file.getParent() + "/" + n);
file.renameTo(new File(n));
file = t;
}  // end renameSelf()

  

  public void copySelfWithInit( File dest) throws IOException {
File newFile =  new File(dest.getPath() + "/" + file.getName());
CopyFile cp = new CopyFile(file, newFile);
cp.copy();
file = newFile;
  } // end copySelf()
}
