I was surprised and did an ls -l on the files and guess what I found:

total 0
?--------- ? ? ? ?                ? fcntl.c
?--------- ? ? ? ?                ? fifo.c
?--------- ? ? ? ?                ? filesystems.c
?--------- ? ? ? ?                ? file_table.c
?--------- ? ? ? ?                ? freevxfs

So end result is that, Im not able to delete the files or change perms
or ownership even as root.
Most probably, your filesystem is broken and needs a fsck.
No, this is perfectly normal behaviour, for when a directory
has READ permissions but not EXECUTE permissions.

Er, close.

	16:02 ichi:/dev/shm > md a
	16:02 ichi:/dev/shm > touch a/b
	16:02 ichi:/dev/shm > chmod 644 a
	16:02 ichi:/dev/shm > ls -l a
	/bin/ls: cannot access a/b: Permission denied
	total 0
	-????????? ? ? ? ?            ? b
	16:02 ichi:/dev/shm > ls --version
	ls (GNU coreutils) 6.9


There is a difference ..  "-?????????" vs "?---------".

That's just a version difference for GNU ls.
Here, with ls (GNU coreutils) 5.97 it gives this:

?--------- ? ? ? ?                ? a/b
