The tric is the alter database rename only renames the file in the control file. So on OS level you need to rename the file yourself. Hence
alter the tablespace to offline
shell out to the O/S
rename the file
go back to sqlplus
alter database rename
(followed by alter database backup controlfile to trace) alter the tablespace back online.
