I suspect that a patch (or reboot) is in order...
$ rmdir /JUNK does not work
$ rm /JUNK does not work
$ rm -R /JUNK does not work (this, I tried with great trepidation)
:PURGEDIR /JUNK does not work (Mark, you said that this is a "workaround" for this problem, but alas, it doesn't work... Am I doing something wrong?)
:PURGE /JUNK does not work
Any other ideas? I don't want to reboot! I don't want to wait for a patch! Arrrrgh!
Sorry for whining,

You're a victim of the bad MPEJXV9B patch WHICH IS STILL BEING DISTRIBUTED AS
A PART OF POWERPATCH 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK, I guess that's a rant. I tried to convince the HPRC it was a bad idea
to be distributing a known bad patch with PP6, but they weren't too concerned,
and didn't want to remove it from future shipments of PP6. Grumble. Harumph.
The bad patch results in phantom user counts which will prevent you from
purging the directory.
If you reboot your system, the counts will be zeroed out, and you can purge
the directory.
As a workaround that avoids this problem, use the MPE :PURGEDIR command
instead of POSIX rmdir or rm -R.
This problem is fixed by MPEKXL0A.
