[ZendTo] Re: Unable to remove the dropoff ?

[Jules]

I can only think there is a file (or files) in that directory which are 
not owned by the webserver process. All the files and directories under 
/var/zendto/dropoffs should belong to the webserver, and will be unless 
you have changed the user the webserver is running as, or else have 
copied or moved the /var/zendto/dropoffs directory without preserving 
file ownership correctly.

Take a look in that directory and reset the file ownership of its 
contents to the username the web server runs as. It's just effectively 
doing a "rm -r" of the directory given in the error message, and that 
will fail if it doesn't own the files in there.
