 For moving the dir, there is a built in function ret = 
 move_dir(pstruct-pw_dir, dir, logname); which is defined in 
 usr/src/cmd/oamuser/user/movedir.c
 
 Is there a similar function that renames a directory?

If the new name is on the same filesystem, see the rename(2) man page.

And if not, cobble something together with posix_spawn and mv(1).
