In my reply to your bug tracker entry, I asked for a log of the 
commands.  Let me know what you type, and what you get in response that 
lets you know that "nothing works".  Don't paraphrase, just give me the 
terminal log.

Thanks for letting me know.  This is a bug report that I can do 
something about. :)

Unfortunately, our Makefiles are generated, and the way we generate it 
doesn't allow us to swap those lines: one is our line, the other is 
generated by the tool that creates the file, and we have no control over 
the order.  For now, I've just removed the rmdir call, so we'll leave 
behind an empty directory, but at least it won't fail.  The proper fix 
will require a change in Bakefile.

Okay, prove it. :)  Your insistence isn't enough, we need either proof 
we can believe in, or, better, a way to reproduce the problem on our 
machines.
