   If you run strings on Cygwin's /bin/rm, you'll see it uses the exact same 
message these days.

   That notwithstanding, it would be a very good idea to clean out the PATH so 
that only one set of unix tools are in play at a time.  I stopped counting at 
about six or seven differing and potentially incompatible toolsets 
simultaneously available...

   What would also be interesting would be to see the getvolinfo output for 
the drive(s) in question.  Wagner, if you run these two commands:

wget 'http://tinyurl.com/cygwin-getvolinfo' -O getVolInfo.c
gcc getVolInfo.c -lntdll -o getVolInfo

and then "./getVolInfo Z:" - or whichever network drive letter(s) give you the 
problem - we'll know more about how you're connected.  (Is it a NetApp?)

[ FYI, and as the wget output would show you anyway, the tinyurl leads to
http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/csih/cygwin/getVolInfo.c?cvsroot=cygwin-apps 
but I figured that was likely to get wrapped... ]

     cheers,
