Duh. I *knew* I had to remove this "hiding O_TMPFILE files from readdir" at one point. No wonder I wrote a matching comment right from the start. Of course this can't work with rm -r. Given rm doesn't see this file it never unlinks it, so the parent dir can't be removed. I add this to my List Of Really Bad Ideas. Still, what files have both attributes set? What application is creating these files? Apart from Cygwin, of course, but Cygwin O_TMPFILE files are delete-on-close.
