Because you don't have a cached object at hand to purge, all you can
do from the CLI is to add bans that will deal with the objects when
they are found in the cache later on.

Your question is -exactly- why I want the rename:  purge sounds like
something happens to the object right now, and that is not possible
from the CLI context.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
