Looks like you're on the right track.

"ls -q" didn't show anything special, but "find . -ls" shows this:

476116   4   drwxr-xr-x   2   root   root   4096   Oct   4   23:07   
./43480\

Note the \ charachter at the end of the directory.

None of the other directories have this.

How do i get rid of this?  I tried mv 43480\ 43480 but it didn't work.

Thanks,

Drew
