We have the same problem at our site. Its not just CDE, its
Interleaf files and occasionally plan ascii files. We have
reported this problem to Transarc on several occasions. A
salvage of the file and/or volume does not fix the problem. We have
been unsuccessful in removing these type of "corrupted" files. What
we end up doing is creating a new volume, move everything we want
into it and then delete the old volume containing the non-removable
files. Pretty bad huh.
