Make sure file buddy is looking at that thing properly. Unless the  
'non-OS' volume had OSX installed on it at one point, you should not  
have those files there at all, leading me to believe that Filebuddy is  
following a soft link or alias back to your boot drive, snd deleting  
those things would be rather catastrophic (not the X11.app, but  
definitely the stuff in /usr/bin!)
