Hmm. The documdentation doesn't say. A quick test on FreeBSD shows
that if you don't have permission to remove the file, an exception is
raised. A second test shows that you get a the same exception if the
file doesn't exist.

Things in os tend to be tied tightly to the underlying platform. You
might want to test on your platform.
