Thanks for the report.
What OS (and version) is the NFS server running?
What is the type of file system on the NFS server?
As you know, there were changes last year in how upstream GNU rm works
in certain NFS/HFS scenarios. E.g., here's a NEWS entry from
coreutils-6.4 (2006-10-22):
rm works around a bug in Darwin 7.9.0 (MacOS X 10.3.9) that would
sometimes keep it from removing all entries in a directory on an HFS+
or NFS-mounted partition.
