Rogue Filename - Can't Do A Thing With It

[Hal Vaughan <hal@halblog.com>]

Recently I started getting errors from rsync on a machine I don't tend  
to have to log on to very often.  I checked the bad directory and get  
this:

[hal@scarecrow:threshNet]$ ls -l reportX
total 0
?--------- ? ? ? ?                ? reportX/2009-raw?@?

At this point this is the only file in the directory.  Originally the  
directory was "report" but I changed it to "reportX" and moved all the  
other files out of that directory and into the new one (since my rsync  
cron job only backs up specific directories).  If there are more files  
in that directory, I get just the file names, but this rogue file  
shows up in the listing with the directory name first -- every time.   
I've tried this:

[hal@scarecrow:threshNet]$ rm reportX/*
rm: cannot lstat `reportX/2009-raw\237@\037': No such file or directory

I get similar error messages from attempts to chmod or mv the file.  I  
can't move or delete the parent directory because I get similar error  
messages.  The directory name included in the file listing changed  
when I changed the directory name with mv.

Just as a whim, I ran Konqueror and it didn't see the file there at  
all and wouldn't delete the containing directory ("reportX"). I didn't  
expect it to, but thought it wouldn't hurt to try.

While it likely does not matter, this file is on a functioning RAID1  
device.

Is there any way I can get rid of this file?

Thanks for any help on this!
