Damn.  I thought I tested this too.

Oh -- now I remember this behavior.  <sigh>  

Well, if you need to rename the directories, then you need to cache
the directory names.  I leave this as an excercise for the reader.

For now, this ought to be good enough:

  perl -MFile::Find -e 'find(sub{return if (! -f); $orig = $_; y/ /_/; rename($orig, $_);}, "kens-mp3-dir");'

Thanks for pointing this out,
