Hello Donnie,
Sorry for not getting back sooner, the "~this" and "/retro.pdf/" each have a 
reason for existing.
"~this" exists because there is talk about eventually allowing nested spaces 
and if you created
a space called TestPage1 and inside of it created a document called 
"attachments" then we would have
a problem.
The "/retro.pdf/" is for supporting versioning which is not (quite) written yet.
retro.pdf version 1.1 will be:
/var/cache/tomcat5/work/storage/xwiki/Sandbox/TestPage1/~this/attachments/retro.pdf/retro~v1.1.pdf
and 1.2 will be
/var/cache/tomcat5/work/storage/xwiki/Sandbox/TestPage1/~this/attachments/retro.pdf/retro~v1.2.pdf

This is the wrong way to do it and probably will not ever be supported.

Does it say "deleting attachment" at the bottom of the screen and never stop?
This is a problem which I have encountered some times. It is because a greedy 
thread is refusing to
give up the lock and I have to implement lock forcing before this becomes 
mainstream.
