That's too bad.  I'm afraid there's no magic here: we need to
see what system calls are being executed by 'rm', and
in what order, and what arguments they are being given, and
what their results are, so that we can figure out what's going
wrong.  Since NonStop doesn't have 'truss', I guess you'll need
to put a breakpoint on every system call and see what its arguments
are and what it returns, starting with the system call that
opens the directory.  Or, you can put wrappers around each
system call in the source code, and have the wrappers send
diagnostics to stderr.
