I took the time to install and configure SUA on my R2 server.  Then I
tried to rename a file, where the target file name already exists:

  $ uname -a
  CYGWIN_NT-5.2-WOW64 vmbert64 1.5.24(0.156/4/2) 2007-01-30 22:56 i686 Cygwin
  $ cd /cygdrive/h/testdir
  $ /my/secret/GetVolumeInformation-tool . | head -6
  rootdir: h:\
  Volume Name        : <>
  Serial Number      : 2065
  Max Filenamelength : 255
  Filesystemname     : <NFS>
  Flags              : 2
  $ echo foo > foo
  $ echo bar > bar

Try the native ren:

  $ cmd /c ren foo bar
  A duplicate file name exists, or the file
  cannot be found.

Well, that's ok if you ask me...
Let's try a simple rename tool:

  $ cat > rename.c << EOF
  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <string.h>
  #include <errno.h>

  int main(int argc, char **argv)
  {
    if (argc != 3)
      {
	fprintf (stderr, "usage: rename old new\n");
	return 1;
      }
    if (rename (argv[1], argv[2]))
      {
	fprintf (stderr, "rename: errne %d <%s>\n", errno, strerror (errno));
	return 2;
      }
    return 0;
  }
  EOF
  $ make rename
  cc     rename.c  -o rename
  $ ./rename foo bar
  $ cat bar
  foo
  $

So it WJFFM.  There must be a problem in your setup.
