You've just explained what I managed to do myself earlier, on a wing and a prayer, but I had no idea how what I'd done had fixed it. Having never worked with any form of nix, a "move" command to rename something is a very alien concept to me
Nope

Actually the opposite is true: "rename" is just a special case of "move a file to another position" - in this case the other "position" is simply its new name. And since the command to do that already exists (yep, "mv"), having an additional "ren" command would be superfluous and confusing.
