Rename the file to the same name as what? Itself? That really doesn't make much sense at all, unless the person was trying to some sort of action on the file to get the Finder's databases updated. In that case it's probably just better to do the update command:

tell application "Finder"
update theFile
end tell

Where theFile is a reference to the file in question. You can find the update command in the Finder dictionary under Finder items->commands->update

before continuing on to the rest of the script to get moved, etc... Make any
sense to anyone? And how would write that?
