Sounds to me like the directory in question is in the process of being deleted
but someone is still holding onto the handle so it can't be.  Rebooting would
release the handle lock and allow the file to be deleted, as would finding the
offending program and killing it.  An exact sequence of steps that reproduces
the problem would help the diagnosis of course...
