Why is rename not working with stats or chart?

I'm not able to rename file names to display in a pie chart...any help would be appreciated...
I tried both ways..

 index=web_server sourcetype=web_access  (file="pr.prod" OR file="cr.crt" OR file="src.jsp")  SESSIONID!="-" | dedup  SESSIONID | stats count by file | rename "pr.prod" AS "Products", "cr.crt" AS "Category", "src.jcp"  AS "Search"

 index=web_server sourcetype=web_access   SESSIONID!="-" | dedup SESSIONID |  stats count(eval( file="pr.prod")) AS Products, count(eval(file="cr.crt")) AS Category, count(eval(file="srchjsp")) AS search | stats count by file

The rename command changes the name of a field, not the values of a field. To change values, use the replace command.

index=web_server sourcetype=web_access  (file="pr.prod" OR file="cr.crt" OR file="src.jsp")  SESSIONID!="-" | dedup  SESSIONID | stats count by file | replace "pr.prod" with "Products" in file | replace "cr.crt" with "Category" in file | replace "src.jcp" with "Search" in file

The second method looks to me like it should work.
