And don't try rm -r

Then if so, you will remove the target directory :-(

You had simply to not add a / at the end of the filename

Yes, you are right. I think I wanted to say:

And if you try 'rm -r' you should not add the slash, then you can also remove the symlink only.

Example:

rm -r nz.freebsd.org.old

With FreeBSD 6.1 also the 'rm nz.freebsd.org.old' works as expected.
