This is not how my file system redirector enforces the rule.  The file
control block (representing the handle) for an open file maintains a
reference to the directory object through which it was opened.  As long
as the directory object has outstanding references the redirector fails
the rename request.

File path maps to specific files in fact do not work because the file
can be hard linked into more than one directory.  Only the directory
that was used to create a file handle is restricted from renaming.
