I've been seeing this same problem since B20! It usually involves
deleting a large directory tree with a few thousand files. I just
switch to MS-Dos mode and use their rm command without any problem. So
yes, looks like more than one person has seen this problem.

Hi,
I am running XP SP2. I have a drive mapped (z:). See mount output. It is
a
NAS drive that supports smb.
sh-3.2$ mount
D:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
D:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
D:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type system (binmode,noumount)

f: on /cygdrive/f type system (binmode,noumount)
y: on /cygdrive/y type system (binmode,noumount)
z: on /cygdrive/z type system (binmode,noumount)
I can read and write to the /z drive and I can delete individual files
but I
can't delete folders (rm -rf anypath) from the cygwin command line. I
get the followning error.
$ rm -rf /s/test/
rm: cannot remove directory `/s/test/': Directory not empty
I can delete folders if I use windows explorer, or in a Unix xterm. The
files belong to the user and are not locked. Does anyone have any ideas?
Let's start here:

Include in your report a onsistent example and 'cygcheck rm' prior to
your
example showing the problem. Also, we need to know what kind of network
drive this is and where it's coming from. My WAG right now is that 'rm'
isn't Cygwin's version outside of 'xterm'.
