debugfs has a number of known issues with removing files / directories.
Al has helpfully pointed them out to me, and it's on my list of things
to fix, but it keeps getting pushed down by other things.  Hopefully in
a few weeks...

Anyway, your changes below look good in this version, I don't see
anything obviously wrong with it, but maybe others do?

Care to turn this version into a patch I can test out?

thanks,
