Agreed on the surprise.

Thanks. I was hopeful on that one, but it just gave me a "No such
file or directory" for the file and the subdirectory that I put into
the base directory and it renamed the file in the base directory
without recursively finding and renaming the rest. Even more
interestingly, when I added a g to the end of the rename command in
it to make it global, it did the same thing.

It's possible my environment or the find or rename command (or any
combination of the three) has/have a bug or bugs that are preventing
me from properly testing it. I'll mess around with it some more after
upgrading.
