Unable to delete fetch destination

Please refer to http://jazz.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=29130

I'm seeing what I think is a bug in the build engine on Linux. When deleting the fetch destination before performing a fetch, it seems unable to delete directories that have a leading dot in their name, such as ".libs". This is causing the removal of the parent directory to fail (since it isn't empty), and a cascade up the directory chain, such that the build fails even before the fetch is run.

I've hacked my build scripts to implement a workaround, but this appears to me as a bug. Can someone on the product team look at this?

I also see that "delete the fetch destination" also fails to delete symlinks. This also causes the parent dir to not be empty and then fail.

I definitely view this as a bug in RTC. Comments? Acknowledgement?
