I hate clearcase, but honestly I have used it forced by a customer..
The real problem is why you need to do a repack in a CC view, but..

to move a file in a Clearcase view you have to use 'cleartool mv ...'
(or 'cleartool relocate') and not the UNIX mv command...

..and he directory where the element to be moved or renamed resides
must be checked out.
