There apears to be an allusive bug that makes it very difficult to track down. 

So far I have found the following details:

1. Happens only on Xen DomU
2. Duplicate filenames are given when doing an "ls"
3. Trigger happens when a rename (mv) happens on a directory with a large number of files.
4. Does not matter which machine does the rename/mv (Any box connected to the NFS) the duplicate filenames still show up under DomU
5. Does not appear to happen to directories with a limited number of files. I have one directory with > 9k files which this does happen on (mail directory)
6. To clear the issue, you have to either rename the file back to the original, or reboot the DomU

A little direction on how to continue diagnosing this issue, or a fix :) would be good. 

Regards,
Jason

Debian 6.0 Long Term Support has now ended, and the 'linux-2.6' source
package will no longer be updated.  This bug is being closed on the
assumption that it does not affect the kernel versions in newer Debian
releases.

If you can still reproduce this bug in a newer release, please reopen
the bug report and reassign it to 'src:linux' and the affected version
of the package.  You can find the package version for the running
kernel by running:

    uname -v

or the versions of all installed kernel packages by running:

    dpkg -l 'linux-image-[34]*' | grep ^.i

and looking at the third column.

I apologise that we weren't able to provide a specific resolution for
this bug.

Ben.
