Odd, do you have any stack traces or error logs? 
Can you turn up logging for ImageHandler to FINER? that will give some more 
information in the log.

renameTo on linux/unix allows one to overwrite files (and does a silent 
delete of the file being overwritten). On windows you are not allowed to 
overwrite an existing file.
In rabbit there is code to check for file existence and remove it before
any renameTo.

Checking the code I can see that ImageHandler and it looks very much like
it is doing it correctly.

What version of rabbit are you trying to use?
What jvm? 
What does the error log tell you?
