And the -f in the rm command it to stop the "Confirm delete?" questions.
My rm is set to confirm all deletes using alias.

How exactly did you do this? I got bit by this bug once in my Linux
life, would prefer it never happens again.
alias rm='rm -i'

And put it in your .bashrc file so it is there all the time.
This is what I have in mine. I use the --backup=t command to make
copies of files instead of overwriting the files. This way I don't
accidently destroy a file when one is a duplicate name of another.
~/.bashrc~:alias rm='rm -i'
~/.bashrc~:alias cp='cp -i --backup=t'
~/.bashrc~:alias mv='mv -i --backup=t'
~/.bashrc~:alias mp='mplayer'
Of course if you use the -f in with the rm command, you are toasted
anyways as the interactive response is overridden.
