I mainly need to be able to check if a file exists, and also copy and/or rename a file without copying the entire file contents to main memory (which might not have enough space free to hold the entire file). This is mostly for manipulating backup files.

Use VTYPE to test if a file exists in the SD card. Example:
':3:FOO' VTYPE
returns the file type if it exists, or -1 if it does not exist.

The RENAME function does not work on SD card files. However, there are libraries that include rename functions for SD card files. One such library is SDFiler by Tim Wessman and Claudio Daniel Lapilli.
