It's only a guess, but the error is reporting in rename...are you trying to retrieve the same file multiple times as you're testing? FTP will typically rename existing files of the same name by appending underscores - maybe it's this that's failing.

NAME
explain_rename_or_die - change the name of a file and report errors SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/rename.h> void explain_rename_or_die(const char *oldpath, const char *newpath); DESCRIPTION

Returns: This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits. SEE ALSO
