it does not work, even if i select the root folder of my hard drive i still get the permission to rename it.

BOOL valid = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] isWritableFileAtPath:[node.nodeURL path]];
BOOL validParent = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] isWritableFileAtPath:[[node.nodeURL URLByDeletingLastPathComponent]path]];
return (valid && validParent);
