Problem Removing a Directory !!!

Hi All,
When i remove a directory , the following error message comes :
rm: cannot determine if this is an ancestor of the current working directory
Is it something to do with the permissisons ?

The path is /PBAMLftp/incoming/misc/July06 - (where i need to remove the July06 directory)
And the different permissions for the directories are as follows :

drwxrwx--- 9 globus globus 512 Mar 14 11:18 incoming
----------------------------------------------------------------
drwxrwxrwx 4 globus globus 3584 Mar 14 11:18 misc
----------------------------------------------------------------
drwxr-xr-x 2 oraclepbdw dba 2560 Mar 14 11:44 July06
----------------------------------------------------------------
Please advice !!
Thanks
