OS X Trash removal via terminal

Hi Folks:

I got brave and decided to use the Terminal sudo to empty a trash
problem I've been having. I dumped some files that I got from a
Retrospect backup recover of a WinNT machine. The Briefcase in there
is locked, won't allow me to remove from the trash, won't allow me to
change permissions on the contents that I can't remove.

Here's what I did--I don't know UNIX well enough to follow the
problem--of course, any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks

michael
