'versions -v remove dev.sw.sccs' (that's the subsystems' full name, right?) 
should do the trick for you.

In 3.3 'inst' the "Select" menu has changed some so that you will be able to 
mark dev.sw.sccs for removal (the 3.2 version still on your disk) and this 
will also mean "don't give me the new one (3.3) either."
