Symbolic link problem

Hi,

I keep having this problem with symbolic links to directories on my computer. Once they are set up, if I try to remove them, this paradox occurs:

[root@resistance plugins]# rm ns7/quarlewm/
rm: remove directory `ns7/quarlewm/'? y
rm: cannot remove directory `ns7/quarlewm/': Is a directory
[root@resistance plugins]# rm -Rf ns7/quarlewm/
rm: cannot remove `ns7/quarlewm/': Not a directory
[root@resistance plugins]#

I also cannot place force a different symbolic link in it's place, as it just places the new link inside of the "directory."

Does anyone know what the underlying problem is, and any possible ways of solving it or circumventing it?

Thanks,
William
