Based upon the experience of one of the list members, I re-ran the
script, & my experience was similar - it worked just fine.
Even the more complicated & deeper directory tree worked fine.
Another member asked about permissions, & that was not a factor
However, that was exactly what was blowing my mind - it was working
previously then it stopped & I was stumped so I asked for more
understanding.
So, in light of this less than solid information, I want to thank you
all for replying and suggest that we just drop this subject.
Thanks.

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.
