Tests failed on NFS fs

[Benoît Sibaud]

Hi,

I compiled fileutils-4.1 on a NFS fs (a stow directory for 5
architectures). At least one of the rm tests failed (on a Debian Potato
Intel)

The same test is OK on the NFS server (i.e. directly on a ext2fs). In
fact all tests are OK on a Debian Potato Intel on ext2fs.

Perhaps the test should warn about NFS or even better tests the fs type.

Hope this helps,
