Sorry, but removing a row from a VLArray (Array in general) is not implemented (the Table object is the only one supporting it). The ultimate reason for this is that HDF5 itself does not support such a operation, so that must be faked by PyTables. The method is relatively easy: move the rows after the one to be removed one position up, and then truncate the dataset (see `Leaf.truncate(size)`). So, you may want to implement this procedure for your own case, provide a patch for PyTables, or just file a ticket (so that I remember to add this in a future release).
