Invoke '/usr/bin/rm' directly.  If you still see a problem, we need
to see the permissions of the directory you're working with ('ls -l'
and 'getfacl') and its contents as well as the input and results you
get.  Perhaps stracing might be necessary as well but I'll hold off
asking for that right now.  Let's see if the above helps you find the
problem.
