I get

~ # xenstore-rm /tools/ewan
~ # xenstore-write /tools/ewan/12/1 v
~ # xenstore-write /tools/ewan/1/1 v
~ # xenstore-write /tools/ewan/13/1 v
~ # xenstore-rm /tools/ewan/1
~ # xenstore-list /tools/ewan
12
13

Which is as is expected, and I get the same when I use the -t flag to
xenstore-rm.  What is your test case exactly?

If you export XENSTORED_TRACE=1 and restart xenstored then you will get a
/var/log/xenstored-trace.log which may be of some use.  Beware that restarting
Xenstored breaks your connections to your backend drivers, so a full reboot is
required if you want to create domains afterwards.

Cheers,

Ewan.
