I assume you're getting this error as root.

Does the filename look correct?  If not, the directory entry may have a
character that has a non-zero high-order byte (file names are stored in
16-bit unicode).  In that case, mounting with -oiocharset=utf8 may let
you access the file correctly, and then either rename or delete it.

Otherwise, is there anything in the system log (dmesg)?
What kernel are you running?
