rename folder not working?

[Bob Sneidar]

Thanks Mark. "201" WAS the endpoint. Your suggestion worked! But I didn't want to copy the whole folder just one of it's subfolders. I even added other folders and tried to move that, but it failed. It is acting like it will only move folders a certain level deep.
