Using the rm.exe from simtel's fil41b.zip; and creating the exact
directories/names as you did above, this works fine on my Win2K system.

A quick inspection of the remove.c makes it unclear to me how have_device
could not be set at this point; this code should be harmless but is 
probably unneeded on DOS/Windows systems (it's a security fix).
