Couple of problems with those.  You need the -v parameter
to get the filelist.  You need to remove the data that 
preceeds the filename (otherwise rm and rmdir will barf).  
The rmdir will only delete the bottom directory of each 
subtree (you can get around this by running it again and 
again).

Cheers,
Steven
