I suppose that is why rm is not working.  The question was "Why don't 
some man pages install?"

I think I have found the problem.  Somewhere along the way a DOCSUPFILE 
make variable and separate doc-supfile came into existence.  I never 
learned this so my doc sources were out of date.  That gave me errors 
that caused me to set NO_SHARE which resulted in groff macros not being 
installed which resulted man page weirdness.

This answer to myself for posterity.

Later,
Jason C. Wells
