Using a program utilising unlink I managed to shift the awkward
directory to lost+found where it now resides as #04954. While this is
very nice it hasn't solved my problem of a corrupted filesystem. Oh
well, it seemed like a good thing to try.

Is there a way to delete this inode. Fsck just isn't up to it. It goes
through the motions of fixing things but when I reboot the problem's
still there.
