However i believe type_2.0_20101208_34.xml is directory in this case (FILES/type_2.0_20101208_34.xml/tmp.xml)

Thanks..I tried to run this code but i found error in mv command like
mv:can not stat `:no such file or directory

one thing i write to forget i have to also change the date with number.It means if the name of the file is type_2.0_20101208_34. if any modification is done in this file then next time this file is saved named as type_2.0_20101209_35.
