[Clipart] xargs rename isn't working...

Hi,

I'm following the release procedure here:
http://openclipart.org/wiki/index.php/Release_Procedure

and am trying to get rid of spaces in the names. The find/xargs
command isn't doing the trick though.

$ find . -name "* *" | xargs rename ' ' '_'

find _does_ find them all, and xargs doesn't throw any errors, but the
files remain named the same thing after running it.

Anyone know what I can do about it?
I'm using Ubuntu Dapper, with the bash shell, if that helps any.

Thanks,
