won't help. BackupPC doesn't use /usr/bin/rename, it uses the Perl rename()
function named after the system call. Actually, /usr/bin/rename is a Perl
script. I'm not sure about the syntax, but I vaguely remember it's intended
for renaming several files, applying a Perl regexp substitution to the file
names, so you've likely just got the syntax wrong (the manual page seems to
agree with that assumption). What does the corresponding 'mv' command give
you? I'd guess you've got some sort of permission problem, possibly
SElinux-related. What file system type is your pool on?

Regards,
Holger
