Sure, you *can*. I don't know whether you *should*. ;-) I've never tested
it with find output. The main thing is that if you rename the directory
before the files below it are renamed, then the mv command will fail
because it'll have the wrong directory name.

Experiment with commenting out the system call, and just see what the
print statement tells you about what it would have done.
