It looks like you are trying to rename folders, not the files. Please read the chapter in the manual on subfolders very carefully.

You need to split your rules. The chapter in question shows you that combining them into a single rule is incorrect and your rule resembles that. Please read the chapter again with the notion in mind that putting everything into one rule is incorrect.
