Description David Dykstal CLA 2007-05-23 09:32:28 EDT 
Happens in Dstore and SSH. I did not check FTP.
Steps to recreate
Log on to a system that supports permissions.
Navigate to a file that would be harmless to delete but to which you have no permission to delete.
Attempt to delete the file.
No error message appears & there is nothing sent to the log.

If you attempt to delete a folder to which you have no permission, the folder disappears from the tree but isn't really gone. It shows back up on the next refresh.

I am working from the head stream on Windows 5/23/07.

Handle the exception that is thrown from deleteBatch when it fails to delete a file

The reason no message was being displayed was because we would catch the exception and not display it to the user.
