The cards I use are class 10, slow but pretty fast for the type of
card.  Generally, I can download several hundred MBs in a minute or
two.  Deleting sometimes over a 1,000 pics one at a time just isn't
feasible.  That could take a long time.  I'm not sure it would give a
different result either.  Doing a rm -rfv has always worked in the
past.  I've never had it fail on a regular hard drive.  I might add,
even tho I use a wildcard, it still shows it is deleting each file
individually. 

I think the thing that makes the most sense so far, bad file system and
it needs to be reformatted.  It's been a while since I've reformatted
them and this type of cards is known to have weird issues.  If it
continues after that, new card it is.
