Hmm ... I understand this is a bug, but only in the sense that the message is 
not sufficiently descriptive. Removing the file from the source filesystem will 
not necessarily free any space because the blocks have to be retained in the 
snapshots. The same problem exists for zeroing the file with >file as suggested 
earlier.

It seems like the appropriate solution would be to have a tool that allows 
removing a file from one or more snapshots at the same time as removing the 
source ...
