I may have misunderstood but I sorta do this when I rename files. 
Typically I go through an import roll, cropping, tagging and 
straightening until I'm happy, then I export the batch. Once exported I 
run a script that renames the files based on the tags in the files. I 
delete the files in f-spot, then re-import.

It sounds a bit convoluted but exporting/re-importing is something I do 
a lot and it's surprisingly easy. Especially since I discovered (from a 
post on this list ages ago) that it's possible to drag and drop straight 
out of f-spot into a directory.
