I don't know about steps 1 and 3 but step 2 can be handled by a 
.htaccess in that directory.  You may be able to accomplish the rename 
of path by creating a batch process that will node_load(), change the 
data, and node_save().  You'll have to give it a try in your 
development server and decide which is best.
