I have an obey file which renames a bunch of files in a directory, then
should delete the directory.

The directory is named with a date, e.g.  logs-2011-10-24

These are www logs downloaded from a Linux server so have a consistent
name format.

The line

Copy "logs-<Transient$TodayLeaf>"
"<Transient$TodayDir>.Logs-<Transient$TodayLeaf>" R D

always gives an error "Unknown operand" yet the same line dragged into a
task window works.

So is there a way of deleting a wildcarded directory from an obey file?
