I'm using the UpdateListItems method of the Lists web service, and I can update an item in just about any kind of list, and folders in non-document library lists, but I can't seem to update the name of a folder in a document library. I must use the web services API, as sharepoint is not local.
If my update batch looks like this:
<Batch OnError="Continue" PreCalc="TRUE" ListVersion="0" ViewName="">
<Method ID="1" Cmd="Update">
<Field Name="ID">2</Field>
<Field Name="Title">MyUpdatedFolderName</Field>
<Field Name="FileLeafRef">MyUpdatedFolderName</Field>
</Method>
</Batch>
I get no exception but the name is unchanged.

<Batch OnError="Continue" PreCalc="TRUE" ListVersion="0" ViewName="">
<Method ID="1" Cmd="Update">
<Field Name="ID">2</Field>
<Field Name="Title">MyUpdatedFolderName</Field>
<Field Name="BaseName">MyUpdatedFolderName</Field>
</Method>
</Batch>
I get an error result that the list item could not be found. I know the list item is there.
Anyone have any ideas?
