 As many others suggested here, it's probably some weird character within files
name. Try dumping dir output to a file and examine it. I remember that some
freeware windows file managers could see/move/delete such a weirdos, but can't
recall which ones. (BTW, in good, old days Norton utilities allowed to edit dir
entries easily...)

 Good luck :)
