Platform: Mac OS X

Ken reports that folder deletion fails when the Orion Node server is run on Node v0.10.2. Symptom is:

1. Hit Delete on a folder from the Navigagtor
2. The DELETE rest call goes away and never gets a response.

First thing to try would be dumping our hand written deletion code and using a library (see bug 402667).

This is important -- the server needs to work 100% with the latest Node version.

Updated. If you're running the Node server from source, please use `npm install` to pick up the new dependency. If you're running the Node server installed through npm, update to version 0.0.15.

Switching to the rimraff library for deleting folders (see bug 402667) fixed this issue. We think it was a race condition between deleting all files in a directory tree, and deleting the directories themselves.
