Actually, it would be better to make afprmdir a script like

    #!/bin/sh

    if [ -d "$1/.AppleDouble ]; then
        if [ -f "$1/.AppleDouble/.Parent" ]; then
            rm "$1/.AppleDouble/.Parent"
        fi
        rmdir "$1/.AppleDouble"
    fi
    rmdir "$1"

but with good argument processing. This way, you get the correct error
messages, e.g. when the directory isn't empty, you don't merrily remove
everything anyway.
