Yes, I know "cannonfodder.txt" probably isn't a directory. But it fails just as well with directories. I don't think it ever gets around to checking.

Looks like your build was mixed up. Such an error message would indicate that all file functions are not defined since rmdir is defined in the same structure. Try to rebuild the binary or use a pre-built one (see the download page).
