i had earlier mentioned the rm -rf /siebel/sfs/tmp/dump which I later commented out however with no rm -rf /siebel/sfs/tmp/dump in my scripts so why do i still get
I had earlier noticed this error during my script runtime

rm -rf /here/nothing will not complain or give you any indication whether
nothing exist or not.
rm, alone, as you see, it will, and of course, it will complain if a directory contains another node that needs to be removed first. The behavior you're describing is as documented.
Quote:
$ lsof | grep /siebel/sfs/tmp/dump
The grep can be removed, unless you are looking for only the particular path string within the output of lsof for whole system.
lsof /siebel/sfs/tmp/dump will show pertaining information for dump
