I managed to get more time on a Fink machine, and I got the same
error about removing non-empty directories.  Specifically, that error
shows up if I get arx.2.1,145 and "merge --in-place".

So I tried the patch above.  It completes the merge, but I now get an
error about bad checksums.  I will have to look into this more.  I am
wondering if this has anything to do with HFS being case-insensitive.
