Description:
------------
I've noticed the following (cornercase of usage), but still faulty behavior of rename:

I mount a WindowsXP full control share
This share contains directories and all directories contain files and directories (otherwise reproduction will fail)

I created a piece of code that mounts a samba share and then I try to move the non-empty directory "EXAMPLE" to "EXAMPLE_OLD" so to have some form of rotation.
However the rename-function fails right after it created a directory named "EXAMPLE_OLD". So now I have two directories, the original (still non-empty) and the 'copy' (i didn't want) without any files.

It seems like the internals of rename are incompatible with WindowsXP + Samba share.

BTW: I tried the same items in normal bash and that worked flawlessly. I ran the PHP script as root on my bash and the WinXP share is fullcontrol to everyone.

Reproduce code:
---------------
---
From manual page: function.rename
---
#!/bin/php
<?php
shell_exec( "mount -t smbfs -o password=\"\" ". $this->url ." ". TEMP_MOUNT_TARGET );
            $files = scandir( $inboxDir );
            for( $i=0; $i<count( $files ); $i++ )
            {
                $file = $files[$i];
                if( $file != "." && $file != ".." )
                {
                   rename( $Dir ."/$file", $Dir ."/$file_old" );
//ERROR!
//Warning: rename(######,#######): Permission denied in ....
}
}
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Renamed directory on WinXP-share

Actual result:
--------------
Warning and a empty copy of directory on WinXP share

Does it work if you only call rename() in CLI, like this:

# php -r 'rename("foo", "bar");'
