Ho hum de dum... of course.  Why didn't I think of that.  Much easier
than trying to fiddle around with the filesystem level deletion code.

I smell a patch, some time when I'm more awake and not managing the
migration of users to smaller partitions (note to those who haven't
been bitten yet - don't ever put thousands of users on a 2Tb filesystem.
Just about everything than could possibly go wrong means days of
downtime, and users _hate_ that)

Hrm... first edge case that sounds interesting, deleting a folder that
has subfolders without deleting the subfolders as well...

My urgent todo list is down to about 10 items now, and I'm sure at
least one of those is easy :)
