Paul's suggestion of running lsof may be valid too. If a process had a lock n a file that was then deleted, the file wouldn't show up in ls but would prevent the directory being deleted until the lock was released. If you don't want to mess around with lsof and tracking down the process, a reboot will solve that one. -- Neil Bothwick If at first you don't succeed, call in an airstrike.
