rename is a cmd builtin, so %COMSPEC% (or just cmd nowadays) /c is required.

Definately not.  rename, as opposed to many other file commands will NOT accept 
a target name with path.  As opposed to move on Windows and mv elsewhere, 
rename really just renames and has no way of moving the file to a different 
path.
