file delete is a built-in Tcl command - do a `man n file` to see it.
And yeah, it definitely should work.
Should, but there have been issues before; see <http://www.opendarwin.org/pipermail/darwinports/2006-April/033616.html> for the first time I think it came up with MP...the bug (now in trac): <http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/7063> According to the changeset for it <http://trac.macports.org/projects/macports/changeset/19038> MP has a 'delete' command which should do the trick instead of 'system "rm -rf"' ('delete' is definied in portutil.tcl for those curious).

Has anybody seen anything like this before?
Is the "file delete" an operation provided by Tcl?
It's odd that it would go through and try to delete everything, but not finish the job.
I'm tempted to change the "file delete -force" into a system "rm - fr ..." call.
