I believe it works for directories also. It's basically the equivalent of
the Unix mv or the DOS move command.

What kind of errors are you getting? The function may not work across
filesystem boundaries, and this may include networked drives (especially
on WinNT -- not sure what it can do).
I think rename may also be usable, but again, it may have the same
limitations regarding filesystem boundaries.
