Now that I have re-read, I still think using the TemporaryItems folder will work.
1. 'duplicate' file "foo" into TemporaryItems folder 'with replacing';
2. Change the name of /TemporaryItems/foo to /TemporaryItems/bar;
3. 'duplicate' /TemporaryItems/bar into your target location;
4. 'remove' or Trash the file /TemporaryItems/bar.
