I have a file that looks like this
?---------  15335 root     44142           0 Nov  7 16:06
yerba01oct01.tgz

I cannot delete the thing....

I tried to delete it
[root@kevin yerba]# rm -rf 'yerba01oct01.tgz'
rm: cannot unlink `yerba01oct01.tgz': Operation not permitted

I have tried to chmod 777 the thing
[root@kevin yerba]# chmod 777 yerba01oct01.tgz
chmod: changing permissions of `yerba01oct01.tgz': Operation not
permitted

I have tried chattr
root@kevin yerba]# chattr -i -V yerba01oct01.tgz
chattr 1.23, 15-Aug-2001 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09

perhaps chattr does not work because it is a ext3 fs

I have even tried yelling at it, but no cigar
any tips greatfully recieved

Kind regards
Kevin
