kend means the Ruby keyword 'end'
$end means end of file.
Therefore this error means the your script has an extra keyword 'end' when one isn't required.

I do not think you need the las line "end" and i thing you are not
opening the file for reading.

str = File.open('rename.rb')
content = str.read
puts content

it is going to display something only if the file has something in it.
