OK. I am not sure I understand the issue than.
Is the first call to h5mv OK, then the second one failling?
If it is, did you try h5copen/h5mv/h5close before the next call to h5mv ?

Do you have a minimum working example with an hdf5 file you could share 
with us?

There is also the python api for hdf5 that is really nice and not really 
difficult to use if you are already familiar with the scilab one.
You could try from python to assess whether you are trying to do 
something inherently wrong or whether it's a bug in scilab.
