Nothing about failure to rename, just failure to open the *_0 file.  Here is
a section from one of the clients.

BTW it is happening on the server and both direct clients.  Server is now 
running
the 2.5.0p2 rpm package from zmanda for Fedora Core 4.  It had the same problem
when running Fedora's 2.4.5 version.

One client is SuSE 10.0 running their 2.4.5 version, the other is Solaris 9
running a self-built 2.4.4.
