Problems deleting folders

Can anyone help....

I am currently using Flash FXP 2.1 and I am having problems deleting folders, but only on certain hosting accounts - in fact only two out of about 80 I look after. What is special about these accounts I don't know, but perhaps they don't accept the the normal delete command for folders (if there is such a thing!)?

Flash FXP deletes files without problem, but for some reason will not delete folders even if they are empty. Here are the last few lines of the log (the folder I am trying to delte is called 'delete'):

257 "/docs/delete" is current directory.
PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (193,113,209,25,177,184)
LIST
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
226 Transfer complete.
List Complete: 125 bytes in 0.84 (0.12 KBps)
CWD /docs/
250 CWD command successful.
PWD
257 "/docs" is current directory.
RMD /docs/delete
553 Could not determine cwdir: No such file or directory.
PASV

LIST
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
226 Transfer complete.
List Complete: 575 bytes in 0.36 (0.56 KBps)

I am running Windows XP SP1. Unfortunately I don't know what server types this particular problem occurs on. I could ask the hosting company which is British Telecom, but despite being a communications company, it is easier to communicate with someone on the Moon!

Thanks
