Does the rename work if try with other names? Maybe the problem is not 
the whitespace; maybe Windows can't rename the folder because some 
process, possibly your program, has an open handle to a file or 
directory under your folder? Unix-systems are able to handle that 
easily, but Windows doesn't.
