I am unclear what you are doing here. Are you doing it manually, or
is SyncDiscs involved?
As far as SyncDiscs is concerned it will only attempt the 'rename'
route if it is doing a move and if it thinks secondary and scrap are
on the same device, i.e. it looks at the e.g. IDEFS::Gromit.$ part of
the full path and compares the two.
