The function rbus_close() calls remove() to delete a temporary file but does not check the return value. This could mask failures in file deletion. This fix captures the return value and logs an error if the removal fails for any reason other than the file not existing (ENOENT). Coverity: CHECKED_RETURN CWE-252: Unchecked Return Value
