mv will indeed not change volume names.  I've known that for a while, but
I always thought it was a "bug" not a "feature".

BTW, one day when I was bored I tried to write a "chvol" to do just this
(I wanted to be able to name /ram5 to /tmp at the time).  The "problem" is
that a ChangePathGS call (I think that's it) won't rename volumes.  Due
to lack of time and documentation of GS/OS calls, I never bothered to figure
out the right way to do this...
