Thanks for your help.  This problem should be fixed now in CVS.
I switched off the entire mechanism which tries to resolve sharing
violations for netapp drives.

What happens is this:

The netapp drive is thoroughly confused when trying to move-and-delete
a file or directory using a single handle.  In case of directories it
moves the directories and the subsequent delete call returns success
without actually having succeeded.  In case of files, renaming the file
fails with "sharing violation" and the subsequent call for deletion
fails with "file has been moved" (I guess you see the confusion here).
Above all, when trying to remove a directory tree, after all files in a
directory have been removed, opening the directory with only the
FILE_SHARE_DELETE sharing flag set fails with a ... sharing violation.
