can not delete empty files

Hey Guys,
I have recently started having a silly problem.
There are 4 files on my drive that I can not delete.
I am running debian testing but the problem persisted when I was
running etch.
I am running on amd64 and the filesystem in question is XFS.
I believe the files were created by Pan and have now been moved into
my trash folder.
Some useful information:
listing the files:
joel@jupiter:~/.Trash/voyagers6$ ls -al
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 2 joel joel 53248 2007-03-31 00:12 .
drwx------ 3 joel joel 8192 2007-05-05 13:23 ..
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? stvs6ep07.avi
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? stvs6ep07.r00
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? stvs6ep07.r00
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? stvs6ep07.r00
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? stvs6ep07.r00
trying to remove the files:
joel@jupiter:~/.Trash/voyagers6$ rm stvs6ep07.r00
rm: cannot remove `stvs6ep07.r00': No such file or directory
I have tried to and successfully created a file of the same name in
the same directory using touch but can only delete the newly created
file:
joel@jupiter:~/.Trash/voyagers6$ touch stvs6ep07.avi
joel@jupiter:~/.Trash/voyagers6$ ls -al
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 2 joel joel 53248 2007-05-06 20:21 .
drwx------ 3 joel joel 8192 2007-05-05 13:23 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 joel joel 0 2007-05-06 20:21 stvs6ep07.avi
-rw-r--r-- 1 joel joel 0 2007-05-06 20:21 stvs6ep07.avi
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? stvs6ep07.r00
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? stvs6ep07.r00
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? stvs6ep07.r00
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? stvs6ep07.r00
joel@jupiter:~/.Trash/voyagers6$ rm stvs6ep07.avi
joel@jupiter:~/.Trash/voyagers6$ rm stvs6ep07.avi
rm: cannot remove `stvs6ep07.avi': No such file or directory
joel@jupiter:~/.Trash/voyagers6$ ls -al
total 28
drwxr-xr-x 2 joel joel 53248 2007-05-06 20:21 .
drwx------ 3 joel joel 8192 2007-05-05 13:23 ..
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? stvs6ep07.avi
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? stvs6ep07.r00
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? stvs6ep07.r00
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? stvs6ep07.r00
?--------- ? ? ? ? ? stvs6ep07.r00
So I am out of ideas.
I am going to again run xfs_check to see if it can correct the
problem.
If anybody can help it will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joel
