[ale] device busy...

As well it could be a few other things that are easy to check.  If it's 
an nfs mount, or you have a login sitting in file system somewhere.

This latter is one that burns me sometimes.  I'll cd to a directory, su 
and then cd elsewhere.  The directory is still tied up even though the 
su is not in that directory, because when you exit su, you'll find 
yourself back in the original directory.
