Yes, this error is expected based on the commands you were given. It
would help if you understood the commands you run, as sometimes you will
be told to run something that could be highly destructive (even if by
accident).
In this case, you had the command:
backuppc@linux-pc5:/$ rm /data/BackupPC/pc/testgram /data/BackupPC/cpool
rm: cannot remove ‘/data/BackupPC/cpool’: Is a directory
Which says remove the two *files* /data/BackupPC/pc/testgram and
/data/BackupPC/cpool, but the second is a directory, not a file. So rm
is complaining that you asked it to remove a file, but it wasn't a file.
The command should have been:
rm /data/BackupPC/pc/testgram /data/BackupPC/cpool/testgram

Adam
