No idea if this is done or not, but couldn't inodes be recycled if a file is deleted and the inode marked free? Then the error of renaming might be done - unless you mixed it with date/file size info too or something. Also, do *all* file system types use inodes in the same way? And what about filesystems remotely mapped in which maybe you don't have access to real inode info? Just brainstorming - I could be all wrong.
