GNU rm seems to need read permission on the current working directory,
and to fail if it can't:
# cd some-place-only-root-can-read
# sudo -u peon rm /some/file/the/peon/has/permission/to/rm
rm: cannot lstat `.': Permission denied
Looks like a bug to me! This was using:
rm (fileutils) 4.1

I caught myself pulling grey hairs out of my beard.
I'm definitely not going grey, but I am going vain.
