[Box Backup] Restoring from a hardware failure

[Per Thomsen]

All,
I'm using a hardware raid card on my bbstored server, and I had a drive 
failure the other day. Switched out the drive, and everything seemed to 
work fine.

However, one of the clients was unable to back up. I found the following 
in one of the backupdirs under that account (output of 'ls -li'):

The platform for the server is Linux FC2, and I've tried to delete the 
files, but to no avail. I keep getting I/O errors from 'rm'.

Does anyone have any ideas about how to get rid of these files? Would 
bbstored recover from removing the entire directory in question?

Thanks in advance for any help.
