Still no luck..

[root@dev02 i386]# ls -i
ls: ??*?: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character
799769 test
[root@dev02 i386]# find . -inum 799769 -exec rm -rf {} \;
rm: cannot remove directory `./test': Directory not empty
find: ./??*?: No such file or directory
[root@dev02 i386]# ls
ls: ??*?: Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character
test


Guess I will just have to abandon that directory tree until I rebuild 
the system one day..
