Depends on the version of Unix you're running. Some versions will
allow "mv dir dir_new", while others have a specific command for
directories: "mvdir dir dir_new". Sometimes, the 'mvdir' command
is in /etc, check there as well.

May not work if the directory is a mount point, then do a umount first
