I'm using AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges() to run /bin/rm within some uninstaller code. I thought I had everything working, but today it returned errAuthorizationToolEnvironmentError, which according to the docs means "The attempt to execute the tool failed to return a success or an error code." What does this mean? Under what circumstances might rm return nothing? The arguments I'm passing are "-rf" and the fully qualified path name, which contains a space but no wildcards or any other special characters.

In case it matters, I call AuthorizationExecuteWithPrivileges() a few times with the same AuthorizationRef.
