If you're sending it to a separate upload file that was not created specifically for its use, I believe you're technically modifying its originally intended and expected behavior. I would instead use the supplied upload.php file and use the JavaScript's onComplete or onAllComplete callback method (depending on how you're using it) to do any further data-related things (like renaming the file), which you could use in conjunction with CakePHP's RequestHandler to map AJAX calls to the appropriate action.
...or you could try and figure out how all 3 files interact with the file system and modify it to your needs. It seems both options would require some work.
