So to test, I umount'd and then used this:

# mount -t vfat /dev/hdb2 /mnt/storage/

And after that I was able to happily delete stuff.  So I rebooted to see if it 
was a startup issue.  But, nope, I can do anything on the drive again.  Very 
strange.

Could a process put a lock on the whole mount point, but only if it were a 
FAT32 parition?  I'm not sure what else could have been causing it, unless I 
have a flaky hard drive -- it was a donated drive.  Any tests I can do to 
determine if the drive has issues (hdparm or others)?

Thanks,
Curtis
