Not sure if this is relevant, but I have run into problems with renaming manually from Windows 8 on. I note that the rename is deliberately setting Upper and Lower case for parts of the path. I don't do this programmatically, but I frequently Rename files to try to control the Sort Order in the Explorer, and have many times encountered it simply ignoring my changes. I Rename to "New Schedule", and when I hit enter it goes right back to "new SCHEDULE".
Finally figured out that if a name change is only a case change, Windows says that's not a "real" change and refuses to change the directory. Not what I wanted, so I now change it to "FooBuzz 13", and then back to "New Schedule", and am now able to get what I wanted with only twice the work! Is it possible that the "failures" you're seeing are the result of the fact that the stored path never changes?
