Shouldn't you be using rmdir to delete directories?

Have you checked which directory you started the SDK from? Do you run it
from a login which has permission to write to such directory? That's the
first possible explanation I can think of.

Now that makes things more puzzling... do you just exit and restart the
SDK from the same shell? Or do you run it from another one?

I have had no such luck:

Amiga 1.0:/$ mkdir zoot-allures
Amiga 1.0:/$ rm zoot-allures
rm: zoot-allures: Is a directory
Amiga 1.0:/$ rmdir zoot-allures
Amiga 1.0:/$
