How to Rename directories

Hi,

We've been using SVN for years now. Great product.

Right now we are developing a new version of our Command Ops game and I am trying to rename directories. On my working copy I have selected the directory, right clicked and selected the SVN Rename menu item. It renames the directory just fine. When I go to commit though I get this Error message:

Commit failed (details follow):
Cannot commit 'E:\Panther Dev\CmdOps 2\Win32\Scenarios\Foothills of the Gods
 Scenarios' because it was moved from 'E:\Panther Dev\CmdOps
 2\Win32\Scenarios\Greek Scenarios' which is not part of the commit; both sides
 of the move must be committed together.

The trouble is the original directory "Greek Scenarios" has ben renamed, so how can I commit it?

Now I have done a bit of reading of similar threads in this forum and I can sort of understand the rational, but what I would appreciate is some simple advice on the steps I need to take to fix this and also to avoid it in the future. What exactly should I have done to rename this directory?

I'm stuck right now and need to get a game out the door. Would appreciate a quick reply. Many thanks.
