>Description:

	% mkdir testit
	% cd testit
	% mkdir x x/z y z z/a
	% mv x/z .
	mv: rename x/z to ./z: Directory not empty
	% mv x/z y
	mv: rename x/z to y/z: Invalid argument

	The first error (not empty) is correct but the second is not.
	The directory y has just been created and is empty, so there is
	no reason for the rename to fail.  Attempting to rename x/z to
	x/zz also fails.  Previously, leaving it alone for a while seemed
	to "fix" it but I can't repeat that now (impatience?).

	I know little about the kernel level but could it be that the
	inode for x/z is not unlocked after the original error?

	It makes no difference whether the filesystem is level 0 or level 2.
