The event log returns:
set name of file "zx.0.txt" of folder "zxdir" of home to "zx.1.txt"
"Finder got an error: Can't set name of file \"zx.0.txt\" of folder \"zxdir\" of home to \"zx.1.txt\"."


This works fine if the folder is home or desktop but not something within those same directories.

The script as you have it works fine for me.

OS X: 10.3.7
AS: 1.9.3
