PHP Can't delete directory

Hi,

I have a problem on Solaris 10 regarding deletion of files

when I try to recursively delete the directory /opt/Tivoli as root, I get the following error message:

rm: Unable to remove directory Tivoli/lcf/dat/1/no-del/bin/solaris2/TME: File exists
rm: Unable to remove directory Tivoli/lcf/dat/1/no-del/bin/solaris2: File exists
rm: Unable to remove directory Tivoli/lcf/dat/1/no-del/bin: File exists
rm: Unable to remove directory Tivoli/lcf/dat/1/no-del: File exists
rm: Unable to remove directory Tivoli/lcf/dat/1: File exists
rm: Unable to remove directory Tivoli/lcf/dat: File exists
rm: Unable to remove directory Tivoli/lcf: File exists

ls -ldR:

I can mv it in the same fs , when I move it to /tmp for example, the destination directory is created, but the source dir still remains

fuser -c . in /opt works
fuser -c . in /opt/Tivoli gives the following error msg: .: fuser: Invalid argument


removing /opt/Tivoli/lcf/dat/1/no-del/bin/solaris2/TME with rmdir result in

rmdir: directory "/opt/Tivoli/lcf/dat/1/no-del/bin/solaris2/TME": Directory not empty, but it is empty

output of mount:
PHP Code:
/opt on /dev/md/dsk/d41 read/write/setuid/devices/intr/largefiles/logging/xattr/onerror=panic/dev=1540029 on Tue Jan 30 06:16:36 2007 
I can't unmount the fs for a check, any ideas?


thanks in advance
