Maya :: Error When Trying To Move Or Rename Entire Project

Recently I renamed a folder that contained a Maya project. Here's a simple file structure to show what I mean:
 
I renamed this:
OLDname > mayaProject > scenes > Project01.ma
 
…to this:
NEWname > mayaProject > scenes > Project01.ma
 
The mayaProject (and all it's subfolders: scenes, assets, etc.) was created in Maya, and the OLDname folder was where I kept it and the other files related to the project.
 
After renaming that folder, when I double clicked the Project01.ma file to launch Maya, I received this error:
// Error: Wrong number of arguments on call to pv_performAction
 
When I relaunched Maya by its icon and used the File > Open Scene… option, I received this error:
// Error: Wrong number of arguments on call to performFileAction does not match number of parameters in procedure definition.
 
In both cases, Maya opened a blank Untitled file, instead of my Project01.ma file. When I changed the name of that folder back to OLDname, the Project01.ma file opened properly.
 
My question is, how can I rename or move this folder and still preserve the file hierarchy that Maya needs to open the Project01.ma file?
