Thanks!  I would but the sad fact is that "unix does not equal unix" :-(

I get:
 
find: bad option -maxdepth
find: path-list predicate-list
 
So I removed the '-maxdepth 1' and got:
 
mv ./NYCOMNET.LOG9501 ./NYCOMNET.LOG9501
mv: ./NYCOMNET.LOG9501 and ./NYCOMNET.LOG9501 are identical
mv ./NYCOMNET.LOG9502 ./NYCOMNET.LOG9502
mv: ./NYCOMNET.LOG9502 and ./NYCOMNET.LOG9502 are identical
mv ./NYCOMNET.LOG9503 ./NYCOMNET.LOG9503
mv: ./NYCOMNET.LOG9503 and ./NYCOMNET.LOG9503 are identical
mv ./NYCOMNET.LOG9504 ./NYCOMNET.LOG9504
mv: ./NYCOMNET.LOG9504 and ./NYCOMNET.LOG9504 are identical
mv ./NYCOMNET.LOG9505 ./NYCOMNET.LOG9505
mv: ./NYCOMNET.LOG9505 and ./NYCOMNET.LOG9505 are identical
mv ./NYCOMNET.LOG9506 ./NYCOMNET.LOG9506
mv: ./NYCOMNET.LOG9506 and ./NYCOMNET.LOG9506 are identical
mv ./NYCOMNET.LOG9507 ./NYCOMNET.LOG9507
mv: ./NYCOMNET.LOG9507 and ./NYCOMNET.LOG9507 are identical
mv ./NYCOMNET.LOG9601 ./NYCOMNET.LOG9601
mv: ./NYCOMNET.LOG9601 and ./NYCOMNET.LOG9601 are identical
 
sigh :-(
