Rename is just that. It goes into the directory and changes the name
of the file leaving the data part alone. This gives the illusion of
moving the file to a different spot on the same drive. It is not
intended for moving files from drive to drive. A move is a copy
followed by delete.

There are several ways to move files.

1. use http://mindprod.com/products.html#FILETRANSFER to copy files
then use File.delete.

2. exec a platform specific script that does it. see
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jgloss/exec.html.

3. use FileInputStreams to such files into ram and squirt them out
with FileOutputStreams. Works if files not that big.
