The docs say this:

"Several rename/move after eachother requires
intermediate submit's to the perforce repository. This is
because Perforce leaves an integrated file in a state of
<branch> or <add>. It does not yet exist in the Perfoce
depot and thus cannot be renamed/moved. Perforce still
doesn't have the notation of rename or move,"

Intermediate submits are a bad thing! Submits should
only happen when the developer decides they are ready
to submit some cumulative work.

It would be much better if perfin...

- temporarily saved a copy of the file
- reverted the file in <branch> or <add> state
- redo an integrate (or add) of the file
- replaced the backed-up file
