rootfs renaming does not work

Description

I'm not sure if this is valid or not or Tracker is the correct component. Either way this is a bit odd.

mkdir /development
mkdir /development/haiku-source 
open /development 
use Tracer to create New Folder
use Tracker to rename folder --> fail.

expected behavior: be able to rename that folder in Tracker.

Summary: inconsistent behavior : modifying directories in Terminal and Trackerrootfs renaming does not work

First of all, the folders at '/' are within rootfs - you won't be able to create any files there, rootfs only supports links and directories.

Second of all, it seems like rootfs currently does not support renaming correctly. You could also try to rename the file from the shell, it will fail in the same way; there is no inconsistency at all. I've changed the ticket summary to reflect the actual problem.
