If I do this:

mount filer1:/vol/vol1/q1 /t/filer1/vol1/q1
cd /t/filer1/vol1
rm -rf q1

then I experience the symptoms you describe. But if instead I say

mount filer1:/vol/vol1 /t/filer1/vol1
cd /t/filer1/vol1
rm -rf q1 

then everything works just fine.

Ok,this works. Thanks. My admin host is Solaris box and I was using /net/filer (i.e., net mount) and that caused funny things to happen. Each subdir under the the filer / was being mounted showing me the .snapshot dirs.

When I hard/hand mounted the filer (mount filer:/ /mnt) I was able to remove the offending directory, no .snapshot dirs.

Thanks to everyone for their help.
