Not quite as weird.  The test got actually simpler now.  I also set the
return code of rename(2) to EBUSY when you try to rename a volume
junction.  Otherwise Windows returns an error code equivalent to EXDEV
and mv(1) starts to move the directory over by copying its entire
content (cross-device mv).
