Looks like you may be a victim of patch MPEJXV9B which breaks rm -r and leaves
bogus non-zero usage counts on POSIX directories which you won't be able to
completely purge unless you reboot your machine.

Patch MPEKXL0A fixes this problem.  Use :PURGEDIR ;TREE as a safe workaround
to nuke your POSIX directories until you can install this patch.
