So, IIUC, youre'saying that the directories get renamed to this
temporary name, but they never disappear after rm -rf?  Are you
sure that no other process is accessing them?

Does Cygwin recognize the drive as netapp if you add a mount point for
it?  How to check:  If the drive has been mounted with a drive letter,
say X:, what does `mount' print as drive type of /cygdrive/x?  Or, if
the drive is used via UNC path, just mount it temporarily like this:

$ mount -f //server/share /mnt

And see what a `mount' command prints for the .mnt mount point:

$ mount
