While I will not rule out a bug the following is true on Windows. Any application on the system that has a folder set as the current directory will prevent that folder and all folders in the path from being removed. This check is enforced by Windows not by the AFS service or file system drivers. If an AFS lock is held on the directory, that will be visible in the "fs trace" log data. Jeffrey Altman
