It's a recent change in coreutils 6. 'Cannot remove root directory /'.
It's a quite stupid protection to do in coreutils. On FreeBSD, the / directory has a flag so that you can't change or delete the / itself. They also do this on special system files that shouldn't be overwritten (that's why you can't tar up a FreeBSD system and unpack it on a random other box).
