SOLVED: [clue-tech] I/O Error when attempting to remove an empty (corrupt?)

[William]

I fixed it!  The clue I needed was in this report at Jim's recommendation:

It seems that smbumount was unable to release these directories 
properly, but umount could.  Once released, I was able to delete the 
directories with no further hassle.  No reboot was necessary, and I 
doubt any drive/filesystem corruption.  I'm putting the blame squarely 
on smb (seems buggy).  :)

Lesson learned.  Thanks!
