For some reason I cannot remove a directory even though there are no files 
in it.  I recently had to run "fsck" manually as my machine had a "kernel 
panic" .  These events must be related.  Here's some output of what's happened:

/usr/ports/textproc/aspell/work/aspell-.33/scowl/r # ls -al
total 2
drwxr-xr-x  3 500  500  512 Mar  1 20:30 ./
drwxr-xr-x  3 500  500  512 Mar  1 20:30 ../

/usr/ports/textproc/aspell/work/aspell-.33/scowl # rmdir r
rmdir: r: Directory not empty

Any ideas what might be causing this?
