makeDir "C:\\doscmdtest\\"

str = "rmDir -r C:\\doscmdtest\\"
"rmDir -r C:\doscmdtest\"
hiddendoscommand str

doscommand str

DosCommand works while HiddenDosCommand does not? What the deuce? (not just rmDir, also happens with mkDir)

Reproduced, reported to Autodesk for fixing.

Apparently, if you specify the startpath parameter it does work:
HiddenDOSCommand "rmdir C:\\doscmdtest" startpath:"C:\\"
Out of curiosity, what is the -r switch supposed to do? The help (rmdir /?) only shows /S and /Q on my system (xp professional 64bit)
