The documentation for NewName could be improved
What's not exactly clear -- at least wasn't to me -- is that NewName needs to contain the new relative distinguished name. That is, if you're renaming an object with the dn "cn=MyUser,cn=Users,o=Fabrikam,c=com" with the new parent "cn=Users,o=Fabrikam,c=com" as "MyNewUsername", NewName needs to be "cn=MyNewUserName" instead of just "MyNewUserName".
