When running as non-root, the error message seems to indicate a
checkpoint is a snapshot, rather than the actual problem, which is that
I do not have permission to delete the checkpoints.
Before:
$ rmcp 29..35
rmcp: 29: cannot remove snapshot
rmcp: 30: cannot remove snapshot
rmcp: 31: cannot remove snapshot
rmcp: 32: cannot remove snapshot
rmcp: 33: cannot remove snapshot
rmcp: 34: cannot remove snapshot
rmcp: 35: cannot remove snapshot
To delete snapshot(s), change them into checkpoints with
chcp command before removal.
After:
$ ./bin/rmcp 29..35
lt-rmcp: 29: cannot remove checkpoint: Operation not permitted
lt-rmcp: 30: cannot remove checkpoint: Operation not permitted
lt-rmcp: 31: cannot remove checkpoint: Operation not permitted
lt-rmcp: 32: cannot remove checkpoint: Operation not permitted
lt-rmcp: 33: cannot remove checkpoint: Operation not permitted
lt-rmcp: 34: cannot remove checkpoint: Operation not permitted
lt-rmcp: 35: cannot remove checkpoint: Operation not permitted
Since May 2009 the kernel has returned EBUSY instead of EPERM for
removal requests against snapshots, commit 30c25be71fcbd87fd. We should
be able to treat EPERM as expected now, as the commit message there
indicates.

This does introduce a behavior change as well- we no longer exit the range loop
immediately on an error code, instead we continue the loop and attempt to
delete the rest of the checkpoints in the range. Objections to this? I'm not an
expert by any means.
