Yes, thank you - that helped!

No it does not. But I found out:

	15:29 server:/home/jengelh3/.kde # l
	total 8
	drwx------  2 jengelh3 users   59 Aug 30 15:29 .
	drwx--x--x 13 jengelh3 users 4096 Aug 30 15:29 ..
	lrwxrwxrwx  1 jengelh3 users   20 Aug 30 15:27 cache-linux -> /var/tmp/kdecache-jengelh3
	lrwxrwxrwx  1 jengelh3 users   15 Aug 30 15:27 socket-linux -> /tmp/ksocket-jengelh3
	lrwxrwxrwx  1 jengelh3 users   11 Aug 30 15:27 tmp-linux -> /tmp/kde-jengelh3
	lrwxrwxrwx  1 root     root     3 Aug 30 15:29 bar -> foo

None of these symlinks (all pointing to non-existing files) do NOT appear
on the client, hence rmdir fails.

Interestingly, the following...

	15:39 server:/home/jengelh3/.kde # l
	total 8
	drwx------  2 cf   users   89 Aug 30 15:39 .
	drwx--x--x 13 cf   users 4096 Aug 30 15:29 ..
	lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     3 Aug 30 15:38 bar -> foo
	lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     3 Aug 30 15:39 baz -> bar
	-rw-r--r--  1 root root     0 Aug 30 15:39 foo

outputs this on the client:

	14:40 linux:~ > l .kde
	/bin/ls: cannot read symbolic link .kde/bar: Permission denied
	/bin/ls: cannot read symbolic link .kde/baz: Permission denied
	total 0
	drwx------  2 jengelh3 users 0 Aug 30  2007 .
	drwx--x--x 13 jengelh3 users 0 Aug 30  2007 ..
	lrwxrwxrwx  1 jengelh3 users 3 Aug 30  2007 bar
	lrwxrwxrwx  1 jengelh3 users 3 Aug 30  2007 baz
	-rw-r--r--  1 jengelh3 users 0 Aug 30  2007 foo

So I suppose symlinks are fed up somehow. (And relates to setfacl giving -EIO..)
