At some point in the past, it was true that any ServerFile and
ServerFileDir objects would be properly deleted. We did some work to
look at all objecs in baseServers that were leaking after an SDET run, 
and at that point (3 years ago?!) we didn't have linking problems with 
file system objects. Since then, I'm sure that we fixed bugs or added
functionality (reimplemented symlinks) that broke that.

The FSFile stuff was added after that, and I'm sure they were poorly
clean-up after.

Thanks,
