file system problem

["D. W. Wieboldt" <dwiebold@aus.etn.com>]

Some time ago, e2fsck had problems and filled up my /lost+found.  I have
searched high and low for guidance on how to straighten out this mess,
but I still don't know what to do.  

It looks like this:
bash$ ls -Flas /lost+found

total 4076008347

[many more]
     46 drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root        46080 Apr 25 13:43 ./
      1 drwxr-xr-x  22 root     root         1024 May 19 20:24 ../

Anything other than moving the whole directory fails, with a "permission
denied" message.  Darn it, how dare it deny permission to root?
Does anyone have some clues, like what FM to read?

TIA!
