Export the whole jobs as a .dsx need to rename. Write a shell / perl script to rename it and import again.

Guru's might give better option.

Best of luck.

Export the folder as one dsx file, for example if you have some 20 jobs in one of the folder export complete folder as one dsx file and open that dsx in any notepad and use find and replace option to rename the job.

Be very careful if you go that route and manually edit the dsx. It can take only the simplest of errors to completely destroy a project. I know... been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Had to get bailed out by the awesome Karen Powers, if that means anything. :wink:
