I think it was done at one point to handle "lp:foo" better. Since we
want to treat that as, effectively, 'lp:///foo'.

I don't think it was intended that you couldn't supply it on the command
line.

One thing you can try is to change it to a url, so do:

bzr mv file:///<pwd>/2010-11__2010-12-17%3A17%3A06%2B00%3A00.jpg
2010-11__201012171706.jpg
