>Description:
Apparently:

$ mkdir foo
$ mkdir bar
$ $ cat ~/tmp/rename.c 
#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
main ()
{
  errno = 0;
  rename ("foo", "bar");
  printf ("errno %d\n", errno);
}
$ cc rename.c -o rename
$ ./rename
errno 16

Reports EBUSY on an NFS file system, and (the more correct) ENOTEMPTY on a local file system.

Apparently still present in current 2.6 Linux Kernel.
