nfsen renames the directory, prepending a '.', to make this directory invisible the nfsen, therefore no files are moved.  This prevents any  operation on that directory while it is deleted from the
disk, as this may take some time, depending on the file systems. The nice nevel is given by your OS when invoking the /bin/rm command.
