Hrm, I dunno...

If we do that then we may end up sending the event before it has
actually occurred. I'm not sure if that's a problem or not, but it
seems iffy.

I don't get it though -- why not do this in the rpc_call_done handler?
If we do it there then we know we'll only send the event if the rename
succeeded.
