[svlug] Totally pooched file permissions

Hey gang -
I have two files in a build directory that have gone ... well ...
insane. So much so that I can't even fix 'em:
?rws-wSr-- 3540 232000980 232000980 232000980 May 8 1977 xforms
I can't even find a reference that tells me what the "?" in the
permissions means. And the permissions are badly enough screwed that I
can't even just remove the file, even as root.. And I can't chmod it to
something more reasonable.
Anyone have any clever advice about how to just delete the files so I
can check out fresh ones? These things don't work:
[root at faux2 extensions]# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel)
[root at faux2 extensions]# rm -rf xforms
rm: cannot remove `xforms': Operation not permitted
[root at faux2 extensions]# mv xforms /dev/null
mv: overwrite `/dev/null'? y
mv: `xforms' has unknown file type
[root at faux2 extensions]# file xforms
xforms: ERROR: invalid mode 06724
[root at faux2 extensions]# ls -i
444924 webdav 444926 xforms
[root at faux2 extensions]# find . -inum 444926 -delete
find: cannot delete ./xforms: Operation not permitted
[root at faux2 extensions]# mv xforms /tmp/
mv: `xforms' has unknown file type
Help?
