If you try to move a symbolic link using File.Move, it fails if the link has a
wrong target or the target doesn't exists.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a link with a wrong target as: ln -s wrong testlink

2.Try to move/rename it by code with File.Move(testlinkPath, testlinkPath +
"renamed");

Fails: Could not find file ""
Actual Results:  
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file ""
  at System.IO.File.Move (System.String sourceFileName, System.String
destFileName)

Expected Results:  
The link properly renamed.

In the example the link must be the name testlinkrenamed
