Dave,

Put a breakpoint in your program at the MoveFile call. Run your program up
to that breakpoint so your program is paused just before it. Then try
renaming the folder in Windows Explorer. Chances are you will get an error
saying sharing violation or that the file is in use.

If I'm right then the problem is probably that your program is opening a
file inside the folder and then leaving it open. You need to ensure that you
close all file handles (and maybe release them?) before you attempt to
rename the folder.
