I tried the "move out from under" trick and it works as expected.
HOwever, I noticed that it did not change the modification date of
the file, as RENAME does, at least not when the file is open during
the mv command.
 
This seems like one of those abuseful features that Unix is famous
for. (Which won't keep me from using it, I'm afraid :-) ).
