Actually, I'm sorry, I realize I misread your original post. I thought
you were running 'fs rmm' where the last component was a symlink, but
you ran it where one of the intermediary components was a symlink. This
is possibly some odd quirk of the code to not resolve the mountpoint
when trying to remove it, but I'll need to look.
