After looking at this more closely it's not the possible bug I was
thinking of.  I don't think it's caused by any particular file.

This may be a silly question, but is possible there are two files in
your directory that have exactly the same name (I've seen it before
but think it's some kind of directory bug)?  As in, maybe

cd raid5/Support/temp/lisa/Local Settings/Temporary Internet
Files/Content.IE5/IVUDKFUP
ls

shows MumsDay_105x85[1].gif twice?

If not, this patch may give a bit more feedback to see what the
problem is:
