I thought I had renaming files nailed down by using NSFileManager's

Where are you getting the filenames from? As a test, I just used
NSFileManager to rename a file whose name contained several accented
characters, a Japanese character and several spaces. It went off
without a hitch. I suspect that there is something wrong with the way
that you're obtaining your filenames.
You're right, it's working. It turns out the problem was a wee bit more complicated. Basically I take an NSString obtained from an NSTextField and put that together with the path to the working directory and do a movePath:toPath:handler: which works fine.
What turns out to be the problem is that when I later get the filenames with NSFileManager's directoryContentsAtPath:, then these filenames will be different from the NSStrings I started out with. Or rather, using isEqual: says they're different, compare: says they are the same. Unfortunately most routines don't rely on compare...
The following code illustrates the problem:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
NSAutoreleasePool* pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
NSString *originalPath = [@"~/Desktop/renametest.txt" stringByExpandingTildeInPath];
NSString *destinationPath = [@"~/Desktop/å ä ö.txt" stringByExpandingTildeInPath];
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] removeFileAtPath:originalPath
handler:nil];
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] removeFileAtPath:destinationPath
handler:nil];
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] createFileAtPath:originalPath
contents:[NSData data]
attributes:nil];
if (![[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:originalPath])
{
NSLog(@"Incorrect, the file %@ should exist before rename.",originalPath);
}
if ([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:destinationPath])
{
NSLog(@"Incorrect, the file %@ should not exist before rename.",destinationPath);
}
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] movePath:originalPath
toPath:destinationPath
handler:nil];
if ([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:originalPath])
{
NSLog(@"Incorrect, the file %@ should not exist after rename.",originalPath);
}
if ([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:destinationPath])
{
NSLog(@"Incorrect, the file %@ should exist after rename.",destinationPath);
}
[pool release];
return 0;
}
