D state of process is uninterruptible state. >From http://wiki.openvz.org/Processes_in_D_state
D state occurs then the process is in uninterruptible sleep. This state is bad, because you can't do anything with the process in D state. Fortunately, process normally remains in such state not for so long. But if you have a heap of D state processes then some logic in system is disrupt. If that is happening, the very important thing is to determine where this unlucky sleep occurs. It is easy to do with ps command with l option. WCHAN column shows the name of the kernel function where the process is sleeping: In this case I guess it waits for network/nfs to copy the files and went into D state. You have to wait for some time to get the process back to normal state for the kill signal to really kill it. After that you would be able to remove the dir.
