Can't Remove Directory?

This is a strange one.

I have a directory on my system named "43480".

The directory was created by a webapp I wrote.

I can issue the 'ls' command and the directory shows:

drwxr-xr-x   2   root   root   4096   Oct   4   23:08   43480

But if I try 'cd 43480' or 'rmdir 43480' I get "no such file or directory".

Did something get corrupt?  This is an ext3 filesystem.

Thanks,

Drew

ps. find command doesn't work on the directory, either.
