If you still think this may be the case (of the file not being closed
properly before rename), what happens when you run my example
code exactly:

File.open("original") do |f|
  puts f.readline
end # this automatically closes the file (because a block is used)

File.rename("original", "new_name")

File.open("new_name") do |f|
  puts f.readline
end

Sorry, I could not test this on Windows myself, but I assume it should work
?
