Not sure what your question really is? If bugs were always very easy
to fix, then there most software would be flawless :).

In the above case, the problem occurred with the renaming of the src
url to the dst url. According to the documentation of rename, if the
eacces or eperm errno is set, then its either src or dst. Now, the
kio::error with key identifier doesn't provide for both src and
destination urls to be represented in the string. We can always
override the default to compose a string on our own after checking
permissions for both src and dst.
