A latest small point:
case-sensitivity of the target file system may influence the success

failure of a rename operation according to
the system call used by the application:
Finder (Carbon application) is successfull at renaming a file to
another case spelling: eg "foo" to "Foo"
where ProjectBuilder and Xcode (Cocoa application) both fail to.
In consequence, moving files from a case-sensitive file system to a
non-case sensitve one may turn out to be a tricky operation:
the set of files ("foo", "Foo") will generate the set of results
("foo", failure) if movePath:toPath is used.
For that particular aspect movePath:toPath is NOT equivalent to mv.
I don't know about you, but I consider that to be a bug.
I consider that to be - to say the least - an annoying "feature" ;)
Somebody at Apple should put the "correct" name on this one
(could be interesting to trace system calls to see what exactly
movePath:toPath: does to fail where mv is successfull)
