I'm attempting to rename a file (backing it up before updating) similar

It works most of the time but I sometimes get an error message "The

Ok, so why? The Finder might as well have told me "not today". How can
I get more information on the root cause?
The commonest cause of failure for file renaming is an existing file with
the target file name.
Wouldn't Craig get "a file with that name already exists" rather than
the cryptic message then?
