Problems renaming a file.

This seems simple enough. In trying to test the batch captioning thing, I've got a folder full of images: IMG_5834.JPG -> IMG_5843.JPG

I want to rename them all:

sunrise on I-80 5834.JPG -> sunrise on I-80 5834.JPG

In a Windows XP command-line, I've tried:

> exiftool "-filename<sunrise on I-80 %-4f.%e" IMG_5835.JPG

And I get:

0 image files updated 1 image files unchanged

To make sure I've got the formatting correct, I tried:

> exiftool -w "sunrise on I-80 %-4f.%e" IMG_5835.JPG

And ended up with the console output for IMG_5835 dumped into a file named "sunrise on I-80 5835.jpg", as expected.
