Led me to:-
http://tips.webdesign10.com/how-to-bulk-rename-files-in-linux-in-the-terminal
Which has a nice example:-
$ rename -n 's/(\d{8})\.JPG$/BeachPics_$1\.jpg/' *.JPG
00001111.JPG renamed as BeachPics_00001111.jpg
00001112.JPG renamed as BeachPics_00001112.jpg
00001113.JPG renamed as BeachPics_00001113.jpg

Which looks like it could be useful.

Cheers,
Al.
