I have several VERY stubborn files: sudo rm -f doesn't work, none of the commands in this thread work, *censored*tail and other utils don't work, and permissions say that I own the files. They are not on my startup volume, so the 'fool them with the shared dir' tricks don't work either.

These files are from the early days of Mac OS X (even including "darwin" in the names), and they've rested peacefully on my disk for years -- with the occasional attack from the newest version of whatever tool.

I'm sick of them, however. Can anyone give me a fool proof method for killing these files? (I'm still on Tiger, but upgrading to Leopard next week.)

Thanks!
