If the rename of the directory mount point occurred via smit, I don't
believe that smit removes the old mount point, just creates a new one
and changes the mount information in /etc/filesystems.

I'm not familiar with Tripwire, so I can't comment on what it reports.
Renaming a directory wouldn't have changed the number of links.
Tripwire is
reporting that it increased, so *somebody* must have added another
directory.
