With +C you resume the render at the place where you last stopped the render 
of a scene. Any changes to the scene in between will of course be visible as 
a clear break in the resulting image. So it is generally not a good idea to 
changes the scene while in the render process. I don't know about renaming 
files in the meantime. If you are consistent in the name giving, the render 
may continue, but you will have to try that out.
