well my mount point has 770 permission and i logged in as the owner of the mount point and tried rm -rf dir it throwed the same error
and also to be noted.. rm -rf works for file but not for dir.
and when i execute rm -rf directory it removes all files under that dir but leaves the sub directories .. it doesnt remove dir.. but removes files..
later i tried to by coming out of that mount point.. and then gave the ful path of the dir to be deleted then.. i could remove it..
would be nice if someone has some explanation for this

fs_rmmount
FS_RMMOUNT(1) AFS Command Reference FS_RMMOUNT(1)
NAME
fs_rmmount - Removes a mount point
SYNOPSIS
fs rmmount -dir <directory>+ [-help]
fs rm -d <directory>+ [-h]
DESCRIPTION
The fs rmmount command removes the mount point named by the -dir argument from the file system. The corresponding volume remains on its
host partition or partitions, but is inaccessible if there are no other mount points for it.
OPTIONS
-dir <directory>+
Names the mount point to delete from the file system. The last element in the pathname must be an actual name, not a shorthand notation
such as "dot" (".") or "dot dot" ("..").
Specify the read/write path to the directory, to avoid the failure that results from attempting to delete a mount point from a read-
only volume. By convention, the read/write path is indicated by placing a period before the cell name at the pathname's second level
(for example, /afs/.abc.com). For further discussion of the concept of read/write and read-only paths through the filespace, see the fs
mkmount reference page.
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.
EXAMPLES
The following command removes the mount points jones and terry from the current working directory (the /afs/abc.com/usr directory).
% fs rmmount jones terry
PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must have the "d" (delete) permission on the ACL of the directory that houses each mount point.
