I created a few hard-linked directories on a sun3 work station and, now,
can't find any way to remove them. All of the directories are empty.

{shell-prompt} ls -alig

total 7

Even root execution of rm and rmdir fails. Am I missing some obscure
option to rm or rmdir? I've exausted my local resources, I think. Then
again, I may just be blind. I hope not. :-) Thanks in advance, Ray.
