We also cannot move or rename the directory.  If you try to move it,
it complains about moving a directory to a subdirectory of itself, ie:

luke at gabriel:~/todelete$ mv Wedding/ test
mv: cannot move `Wedding/' to a subdirectory of itself, `test'
luke at gabriel:~/todelete$

and rm complains that the directory is not empty even with the -rf
flag.

Any ideas on how to further debug and fix this would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
