Ideas:
Does the computer respond to external "ftp". I wonder if you can rename the file from a ftp session?
Does the computer respond to external rcp? I wonder if you could copy the library to another computer, rename it and copy it back?
bash (but not ksh) has a character-by-character raw read feature (read -r -n1). Maybe someone better with bash than me could use this feature to create a script to binary copy a file?
With umask it might even be possible to get the permissions correct enough to run real commands to fix the problem.
