Neil,
Here is my self contained example. I apologize for not providing it. My
config file produces the following directory structure with files in them.
After creating this structure, I have been attempting to delete the folder
/tmp/test/create_folder1/create_folder2 and the files in it via the
deleteLocalFolder bundle but have been unsuccessful. In fact, it does not
delete any folder or files at all.
Directory Structure:
# ls -lhR /tmp/test/create_folder1
/tmp/test/create_folder1:
total 16K
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 222 Jun 17 14:01 copy_local_file2.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 222 Jun 17 14:01 copy_local_file.txt
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jun 17 14:01 create_file4.txt
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Jun 17 14:01 create_folder2
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4.0K Jun 17 14:01 create_folder3
/tmp/test/create_folder1/create_folder2:
total 0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jun 17 14:01 create_file5.txt
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jun 17 14:01 create_file7.txt
/tmp/test/create_folder1/create_folder3:
total 0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jun 17 14:01 create_file6.txt
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Jun 17 14:01 create_file8.txt

Please notice that I provided a self contained example. You have not. Also
please think about the desired state not how to get there. Do not treat this
as a shell script. You should not be thinking about how to do 'rm -fr'.
Instead you should be making a promise that says make sure this directory and
any contents do not exist.
