data is read write by user system in group system

drwxrwx--x system system 2010-03-13 16:39 data

When you get a shell from adb you are neither.

uid=2000(shell) gid=2000(shell) groups=1003(graphics),1004(input),1007(log),1011(adb),3001(net_bt_admin),3002(net_bt),3003(inet)

So, you can't cd into data to remove the .apk files.

It would have to be rooted first.
