Here is what I have found so far and where I am up to.

I have removed the inode check in my rm.exe and I now have uncovered another
problem with the LIBC rmdir.c code below in that it failes to remove a
directory and as such the rm -rf contrib fails. I have tried both 0x3a and
0x713a int21 calls, but they both fail. I am running Win XP Pro with all the
patches.

Here is the main code from LIBC rmdir.c:-

  if(_USE_LFN)
    r.x.ax = 0x713a;
  else
    r.h.ah = 0x3a;

  r.x.ds = __tb_segment;
  r.x.dx = __tb_offset;
  _put_path(real_dir);
  __dpmi_int(0x21, &r);

  if (r.x.flags & 1)
  {
    errno = __doserr_to_errno(r.x.ax);
    return -1;
  }

Here are some bebugging info:-

removing all entries of directory `contrib/rhide/doc/german'
removing the directory itself: `contrib/rhide/doc/german'
acrmdir.c 26 mydirname= ->german<-, real_dir = ->german<-
acrmdir.c 30 
acrmdir.c 57 r.x.ax = 0x05 , errno = 4

From Ralh Brown's Interrupt list ax of 0x05 is:-
 05h (5)   access denied

Here is the first problem directry info:-
DJ204 E:\tmp>ls -la contrib\rhide\doc\german
total 1
drwxr-xr-x    2 andrew   root            0 Aug 16 16:59 .
drwxr-xr-x    3 andrew   root           32 Aug 16 16:59 ..

Any ideas on what to try next or look at next?

Andrew
