[Net] FTPClient method rename not working

hi,

sorry if this is on old one, but i'm starting to use the commons-net java 
library and i'm trying to rename a file on a server. i tried the rename 
function but that returned my only

550 Renaming attempt failed.

in the reply string (getReplyString method).

i took a look at the source code of the method and there were only some lines:

    public boolean rename(String from, String to) throws IOException
    {
        if (!FTPReply.isPositiveIntermediate(rnfr(from)))
            return false;

        return FTPReply.isPositiveCompletion(rnto(to));
    }

i copied the lines and changed the variables and it worked. both function 
calls of FTPReply returned true. so why does the rename method returns false?

i'm using commons-net 1.3.0 and a ftp server on an iseries (os400).

thanx in advance.

mk
