Summary: 

The problem with either "w|sh" or "|sed '1,/cut/d'|sh" is that you aren't
likely to be in the correct directory.  Rn chdirs all over the place for
efficiency reasons.  You'd probably have to say something like
"w|(cd DIR; sh)".  If you want it in the directory you ran rn in, for
instance, you'd have to say "w|(cd %O; sh)".
