The wildcard expansion only works one time. So the "rm -r" only applies to directories that match with wildcards.
That explains why it didn't work but didn't complain, either.
And guess what? "rm -rf * .#*" doesn't work either (he says while restoring deleted files from CVS....)
This means you have to use find to do what you are trying.
drat!
