I"m very puzzled by your error message (and I had speculated that perhaps
you had some non-standard version of "rm" installed). The command given
is "rm -R directory" and the error message complains about the directory
not being empty; but the whole point of -R is that it should remove
both the directory and its contents.

Does anybody else have an idea about this one?
Sadly, the OP did not include any real information in his message. I suppose it's possible that the directory in question contains files that the preceding 'rm' did not actually remove. FWIW, the "-R" will *not* override permissions.

Regards,

Justin
