ok... hate to bump my last remark... however for clarification, I can still use xterm to rm items... without incident. I tend to stick to doing things as root; however File Manager just fails... and honestly, it didn't when I first flashed it to OS 2007 HE.

I've been all the way through this site, Maemo, and just about as complex/simple of a inquiry and I'm just not finding a proper solution.
