[OpenAFS] strange error in directory / volume

[Brian J. Smith-Sweeney]

Was this problem ever resolved?  I'm experiencing the same behavior with
a 1.2.8 server/client as well as the 1.2.8 server with a 1.2.9 client.

It first started happening this weekend when I started using the
1.2.9-rc5 client, but that could just be coincidental.  Has anyone
figured out a way to actually delete or in any other way deal with this
file?
