Does "file delete /var/tmp/filename" work?

Personally I'd recommend keeping the jbundle around just in case. I've 
seen far too many instances of flash and those horrible ibm travelstar 
drives going bad and requiring a re-copying of the package files. Also if 
you move you RE between platforms, you'll need to pkg_add the jbundle 
again to make it link in the correct PFE package.
