There is no such thing as os.path.rename that I know of. At least
not in Python 2.2.

os.rename should work though.

 >>> import os
 >>> help(os.rename)
Help on built-in function rename:
rename(...)
     rename(old, new) -> None
     Rename a file or directory.

It works for me. I don't think we can help you unless you
provide more details, such as what OS, what kind of file system
and in particular: What is the error message?

I can imagine that the directory is locked for some reason.
