No, 2151. Is that relevant?

This is from within the sandbox where I first tried the rename command and
it didn't work. The commands I copied into my message (cited above) I ran
in another sandbox. This original sandbox still contains a file
Docs\CVS\Rename with the content

MMG/SimpleAlarm/Docs/SimpleAlarm-Design.doc
