I was about to delete a Time Machine Backup-Folder, and I got that:
MacBook-Air:.Trashes root# rm -Rf 502 rm: 502/2013-06-27-195031/Grob 109A/Applications/Merlin.app/Contents/Frameworks/CoreDataNet.framework/CoreDataNet: Operation not permitted rm: 502/2013-06-27-195031/Grob 109A/Applications/Merlin.app/Contents/Frameworks/CoreDataNet.framework/PrivateHeaders: Operation not permitted […] MacBook-Air:.Trashes root#
When Time Machine backups your data, it also applies ACLs:
MacBook-Air:.Trashes root# ls -le 502/2013-06-27-195031/Grob\ 109A/Applications/Merlin.app/Contents/Frameworks/CoreDataNet.framework/CoreDataNet
lrwxrwxrwx+ 1 appleadmin admin 28 Dec 28 2007 502/2013-06-27-195031/Grob 109A/Applications/Merlin.app/Contents/Frameworks/CoreDataNet.framework/CoreDataNet -> Versions/Current/CoreDataNet
0: group:everyone deny write,delete,append,writeattr,writeextattr,chown MacBook-Air:.Trashes root#
The solution is deleting the ACLs.
MacBook-Air:.Trashes root# chmod -RN 502 MacBook-Air:.Trashes root#
After that, the deletion works:
MacBook-Air:.Trashes root# rm -Rf 502 MacBook-Air:.Trashes root#
