Apart from the issue that the 'name' attribute is only the name used to open 
the file, there is another issue, though not on the platform you're using: 
Multiple directory entries can point to the same file, all of which can be 
changed (including deletion!) even while you have the file open.

I'm not sure what problem you're trying to solve, but I'm afraid your 
approach is at least limited.

Good luck!
