This is well known. As you noticed, everything you tried afterwards
got screwed up. A very simple fix is to remove (or rename,just to be
safe) MT/work, since it only contains the entry to delete a directory,
and the try all the other stuff. I wouldn't recommend this as a long-
term solution, but I think it'll have to do for now.
Cheers,
Richard
