Access Denied.
If your app, or some other app has that directory as the "current"
directory, then it is "in use" and can't be deleted.

i.e. if you "cd c:\somedir"  then "rd c:\somedir" it won't work.
XP says
"The process cannot access the file because it is being used by
another process."
Which sound a lot like Access Denied.
