This is the same behavior as the rm linux command:

rm -r .
rm: cannot remove directory: ‘.’

rm -r ..
rm: cannot remove directory: ‘..’

You would expect something different?

[fabiencastan]

Yes, I see the point, but with the options "-s" "-f" we can choose to only remove files or sequences.
And we have filtering options like first/last-image and expression which already makes it a bit different from rm.
