            Yikes! The Mac OS X kernel may be confused because you've deleted
    the directories in which it maintains records of all file system I/O
    (/.fseventsd) and file system search indices (/.Spotlight-V100). I
    don't know what would break or behave unexpectedly with these
    directories gone, but it might be wise to reboot.

            These are "hidden" files readable, writable, and executable only by
    root for a good reason: regular users aren't supposed to muck with them.

    Aloha,
