"The new name must not be the name of an existing file or directory.
You can use rename to move a file from one directory or device to another
by giving a different path in the newname argument."

This clearly says that MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING should _not_ be set,
while MOVEFILE_COPY_ALLOWED is necessary to allow moving files between
drives. I have verified that windows actually behaves as stated in the
MSDN excerpt above. Perhaps someone knows why the flags have been set
this way - is it a workaround for some hidden feature in some Windows version?
