Since the original poster seemed to be used to the 'rm -rdf directory'
command and it didn't work in this case, I thought it would be appropriate
to answer with the answer as to why it didn't work. It's in the man page:
-d, --directory
unlink directory, even if non-empty (super-user
only)
... it only works for the super-user.
