sudo rm -r <foldername> seems to have fixed that.  mock --scrub needs 
config files that may not be available.

I see that Gary has now committed a workaround for the plugins-build 
problem with systems (like mine) in which 'mock' is not configured to 
use the tmpfs plugin.  I thought I had tried enabling that on the CL, 
without success, and at present I haven't tried the new version.

But I do have a variant of his script that creates the two SRPMS and 
builds them with mock --chain;  it leaves its packages in /var/tmp/mock, 
where root can install, move or delete them.  For future compatibility 
I'll try the new version soon.
