I tried it myself and what I get is: Error: Failed to extract irrlicht: error renaming: target "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_rschmidt_macports_macports-ports-svn-trunk_devel_irrlicht/irrlicht/work/irrlicht-1.8.4/source/Irrlicht/MacOSX/irrFramework-Info.plist-DCQIMWNv/irrFramework-Info.plist" is not a directory While "copy" is simply a less-verbose wrapper around "file copy -force", "move" is more than just a wrapper around "file rename", in that it contains code designed specifically to handle your situation: the need to change only the case of a filename on a possibly case-insensitive filesystem. I'm not sure yet why this code is failing.
