This is "intentional"; it's a FUSE filesystem. Even if you deleted it, you
couldn't create another symlink on top of it, and next time you referenced
it at all, it would come back.
Are you trying to attach something else (like a read-write locker) on top
of it? We should probably support this, for locker maintainers. I've
reported this as ticket #96 at debathena.mit.edu/trac/.
