Conceivably we could adjust rmtree() to print a HINT mentioning that
unsafe network storage is a possible cause of this error. But I'm
a little worried that that'd be crying wolf, because on most setups
a much more likely explanation is somebody concurrently creating a
file in the targeted directory.
