Summary: shutil.move doesn't work when only case changes

Initial Comment:
shutil.move() appears to fail silently when the source and destination filenames only differ in case (ie "SomeFile" and "Somefile"). This is with python 2.4.3-18.fc6, on a case-sensitive filesystem (ext3), so this rename *is* meaningful.
