The reason this works is because you are doing a recursive remove of
the directory. The PHP rmdir() does not remove a directory with
contents in it. If you modify your script so that it walks the users
directory and removes each file and subdirectory then it would
probally have worked correctly.
I would have mentioned this earlier but I have been away from email
for the past day or so.
