Roger,

This is an issue that we see very infrequently. We have been unable to
duplicate it in a manner that will allow us to find and fix the problem. If
you find a way to reliably create this problem please let us know.

Meanwhile, instructions for removing a file affected by this issue can be
found here:
http://www.orangefs.org/trac/orangefs/wiki/ExplainPVFS2RemoveObject.

Hope that helps!
Elaine
