Robert, It's possible that the guy who built these directories on your system used some non-printable character(s) at the end of the filename. I used to do that on my home system when I wanted to prevent a directory from being listed or deleted (back in the win95 days).
That's why I suggested using the * with the rmdir command (which is a windows command). have you (or can you) try: C:\> rmdir /S/Q oOoO* and see what happens?
