Yeah, but isn't that exactly why you have "-f" there?  On the
other hand, if $DOTEST exists but for some reason couldn't be
removed, we probably would want to know about it.

    $ rm -fr no-such
    $ mkdir no-such
    $ echo >no-such/file
    $ rm -fr no-such
    $ mkdir no-such
    $ echo >no-such/file
    $ chmod a-w no-such
    $ rm -fr no-such
    rm: cannot remove `no-such/file': Permission denied
