Renaming a file you already have in file obejct?

Question

Hi
I have a file I've already loaded into a var.
I've made a function that I want to rename the file on the hard drive using moveTo(), so that backup_ is added to the front of the file name:
myFile.nativePath;
renameMyFile(myFile);
public function renameMyFile(filePath:String)
            var original = File.documentsDirectory;
            original = original.resolvePath(filePath);
            var destination:File = File.documentsDirectory;
            destination =  destination.resolvePath("backup_"+filePath);
          original.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, fileMoveCompleteHandler);
            original.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, fileMoveIOErrorEventHandler);
            original.moveToAsync(destination);
private function fileMoveCompleteHandler(event:Event):void {
                trace(event.target); // [object File]
private function fileMoveIOErrorEventHandler(event:IOErrorEvent):void {
                trace("I/O Error."); 
It keeps tracing "I/O Error."  The new file doesn't already exist, so the error isn't thrown due to it already being there.
What is the correct way to do this, if you already have the file's nativePath in a string?
Thanks guys.

You would be better off using a script to do this as an example as I don't think it would be possible in the Bridge re-name.
Using ExtendScript Toolkit or a Plain text editor copy the code into either and save it out as Filename.jsx
This needs to be saved into the correct folder. this is found by going to the preferences in Bridge, selecting Startup Scripts, this will open the folder where the script is to be saved.
Once this is done close and re-start Bridge.
To Use: Goto the Tools Menu and select Rename PDFs
Make sure you test the code with a few copied files into a seperate folder first to make sure it does what you want.
The script will do all PDF files in the selected folder.
#target bridge 
if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) { 
renamePDFs = MenuElement.create("command", "Rename PDFs", "at the end of Tools");
renamePDFs.onSelect = function () {
app.document.deselectAll();
var thumbs = app.document.getSelection("pdf");
for( var z in thumbs){
var Name = decodeURI(thumbs[z].spec.name);
var parts = Name.toLowerCase().replace(/\s/g,'-').match(/(.*)(-)(.*)(-)(.*)(\.pdf)/);
var NewName = parts[1].replace(/^[a-z]/, function(s){ return s.toUpperCase() });
NewName += parts[2]+parts[3]+parts[4]+parts[5].toUpperCase().replace(/[A-Z]$/, function(s){ return s.toLowerCase() });
NewName += parts[6];
thumbs[z].spec.rename(NewName);
