Can't Remove Files



Hi,

	I mounted my usb storage device and placed files on it, no
	problem.  However, I can't remove one of the folders in there.

	My plan was to put all of the programs that I wanted to manually
	install (compile) after I reinstalled the OS onto the usb
	storage.  I put things there like Apache, PHP, etc.  All of the files were
	in the .gz format.

	I don't know when it happened, but when I went inside of that
	folder later on, except for three of the files, they all had names that
	looked like: ????????.??, etc.  When I tried to delete them I
	got a "cannot lstat" error along with a "read-only" explanation.

	I mounted to device as: "mount -t vfat /dev/sde1 /mnt/usbdisk".
	I tried mounting as "-t usbfs" but I only got four files in
	there: 001, 002, 003, devices.  I also manually unmounted and
	then mounted with the "-o rw" option, but no dice.

	Anyone experienced this problem before?  I just want to remove
	that file.  It seems to be the only one that I can't remove.
	Thanks.
