Thanks for all the replies

What does
Code:
ls 2006* | od -c

show?
root@ubuntu:/some/dir/# ls 2006* | od -c
ls: cannot access 2006_output.mv: No such file or directory
0000000

I tried removing with rm *, rm <files> -r -f. Here is the funny part, just doing ls gives me this
Code:
root@ubuntu:/some/dir/# ls
ls: cannot access TRUNK_: No such file or directory
ls: cannot access 2006_output.mv: No such file or directory
2006_output.m?v  TRUNK_

I'm guessing this has something to do with NFS. The users data was migrated from SUSE to Ubuntu, and in old SUSE there were some NFS mounts.
Will look around.

clri

CLRI(8) 						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						   CLRI(8)

NAME

     clri -- clear an inode

SYNOPSIS

     clri special_device inode_number ...

DESCRIPTION

     Clri is obsoleted for normal file system repair work by fsck(8).

     Clri zeros out the inodes with the specified inode number(s) on the filesystem residing on the given special_device.  The fsck(8) utility is
     usually run after clri to reclaim the zero'ed inode(s) and the blocks previously claimed by those inode(s).  Both read and write permission
     are required on the specified special_device.

     The primary purpose of this routine is to remove a file which for some reason is not being properly handled by fsck(8).  Once removed, it is
     anticipated that fsck(8) will be able to clean up the resulting mess.

SEE ALSO

     fsck(8), fsdb(8), icheck(8), ncheck(8)

BUGS

     If the file is open, the work of clri will be lost when the inode is written back to disk from the inode cache.
