Well, that's embarrassing. I know I tried to record to another directory by using record "bla/temp.dem" and for some reason it didn't work. Now I realise it does work so I must have messed up with the syntax when I tested it before. So okay, one problem solved; one to go... and the renaming thing is actually the more important one.
