I will hazard a wild guess that you are using a Netscape server :)
There is a known problem with NS servers where they don't like 
the '.' target that we used to use in some management screen form 
targets. We thought that we found and changed all of those, but it
turns out that there is still one of these in the file renameForm.dtml
in the current Zope release (this file is in the lib/python/OFS
directory
of your distribution). You can edit this file and change the line:

<FORM ACTION="." METHOD="POST">

to:

<FORM ACTION="<dtml-var URL1>" METHOD="POST">

...and restart your Zope instance to fix the problem. The fix for 
this will be in 2.2.0 as well.
