Files.... undeletable.

I've some files created by a script.
For some reason last time the script run was interrupted for an error and the files produced by the script are undeletable.


i've tryed as root with command 'rm' and even if i got no error in command execution the files are still there.
These are the files:
Code:
-rw-r--r--  1 nsm  4544256 Oct  4 13:32 20111003-Bologna.txt
-rw-r--r--  1 nsm  5974396 Oct  4 12:17 20111003-Firenze.txt
-rw-r--r--  1 nsm 24401362 Oct  4 13:32 20111003-FW6.txt
-rw-r--r--  1 nsm 18478087 Oct  4 13:05 20111003-Genova.txt
-rw-r--r--  1 nsm  9787330 Oct  4 12:31 20111003-Napoli.txt
-rw-r--r--  1 nsm  5133364 Oct  4 12:14 20111003-Palermo.txt
-rw-r--r--  1 nsm 26527517 Oct  4 13:32 20111003-Verona.txt

The folder where they resides is not a particular folder as the path is tmp/folderSmilie

The system is a FreeBSD.

NAME
makeSH - a .SH script maker SYNOPSIS
makeSH files DESCRIPTION
MakeSH examines one or more scripts and produces a .SH file that, when run under sh, will produce the original script. The .SH script so produced has two sections containing code destined for the output. The first section has variable substitutions performed on it (taking values from config.sh), while the second section does not. MakeSH does not know which variables you want to have substituted, so it puts the whole script into the second section. It's up to you to insert any variable substitutions in the first section for any values you want from config.sh. You should run makeSH from within your top-level directory and use the relative path to the file as an argument, so that the "Extracting ..." line printed while running the produced .SH file later on will give that same path. AUTHOR
Larry Wall <lwall@netlabs.com> SEE ALSO
pat(1), metaconfig(1), makedist(1). BUGS
It could assume that variables from metaconfig's Glossary need to be initialized in the first section, but I'm too lazy to make it do that. LOCAL MAKESH(1)
