ENOENT is treated specially by "rm -f". We cover that case explicitly
with the "test -d" above (in the bit you didn't quote), and then rely on
"rm" to report other errors. Like:
$ rm -rf /etc/passwd ; echo $?
rm: cannot remove '/etc/passwd': Permission denied

I think we need the "-f" to overcome rm's tendency to prompt in some
cases:
$ echo content >foo
$ chmod 0 foo
$ rm foo
rm: remove write-protected regular file 'foo'? ^C
$ rm -f foo
[no output; it just works]
