    Got this: (which isn't quite the target)
/var/1wire/bus.0
/var/1wire/uncached/bus.0/1F.38C704000000
/var/1wire/uncached/bus.0/1F.B9C604000000
/var/1wire/uncached/bus.0/1F.1DBC04000000
/var/1wire/uncached/bus.0/1F.1DBC04000000/main/10.BB434D010800
/var/1wire/uncached/bus.0/1F.1DBC04000000/main/alarm/10.BB434D010800
/var/1wire/uncached/1F.38C704000000
/var/1wire/uncached/1F.B9C604000000
/var/1wire/uncached/1F.1DBC04000000
/var/1wire/uncached/1F.1DBC04000000/main/10.BB434D010800
/var/1wire/uncached/1F.1DBC04000000/main/alarm/10.BB434D010800
/var/1wire/1F.38C704000000
/var/1wire/1F.B9C604000000
/var/1wire/1F.1DBC04000000
/var/1wire/1F.1DBC04000000/main/10.BB434D010800
/var/1wire/1F.1DBC04000000/main/alarm/10.BB434D010800

    But it's closer.  You'd think that absolute-pathing the entry to be
deleted would get'em all, aye?  I dunno- might be a feature...
