Uhh... C_renItem("a b;rm -rf /",  "")

Be *really* careful with system()!!! 

Better use ANSI-C99 or POSIX functions.  I guess, any system that
has /bin/mv & co will have these functions.

ANSI-C99: int rename(const char *oldname, const char *newname)
ANSI-C99: int remove(const char *name)   (only files)
POSIX:    int rmdir(const char *name)
POSIX:    int mkdir(const char *pathname, mode_t mode)  (use mode 0777)

All 0 on success, -1 on error.
