While I will not rule out a bug the following is true on Windows.  Any
application on the system that has a folder set as the current directory
will prevent that folder and all folders in the path from
being removed.  This check is enforced by Windows not by the AFS service
or file system drivers.

If an AFS lock is held on the directory, that will be visible in the "fs
trace" log data.
