Perhaps I've misunderstood the reason for doing this, but I would just
ask find to do a rmdir, and let it fail if the directory isn't empty.
find dir -depth -type d -exec rmdir {} \;
If 'dir' is still around when that finishes, it's probably because
there's a file in there now. In the meantime, it's removed all empty
subtrees.
