The unable to locate homedir is typically a permission or incorrect
home dir. I have ran into that one before when I have a bad directory
assigned to the user in Emerald.

rm in ftp land is rmdir, or Remove directory. Its NOT delete
a file. Serv-U does support rm and rmdir (the same thing). Netscape
is broke if its trying to use rm to delete files. I just verified
this on a linux and unixware ftp client.

This could be that we still might have a permission or event not
allowed. What I would be interested in is a debug of a session
like that to see what commans its trying to send so that we
can find out what the problem is.

In the next major release.
