% mkdir test
% chmod 4000 test
% /bin/rmdir test
% ls test
test not found (No such file or directory)
%

Seems to work for me.

  Could you be more specific?  What kind of machine are you using?  What
operating system is it running, and what version?  What does "ls -l" on the
directory in question show up, and do you own it?  What error message do you
get when you try to remove it?  Are you using rmdir, or some other command, to
remove it?  Is it empty?
