These above stack trace is the sign of a corrupted directory.

Where we saw signs of on disk directory corruption. Have you run xfs_repair successfully on the filesystem since you reported this? If you did clean up the error, does xfs_repair report the same sort of error again? Have you run a 2.6.16-rcX or 2.6.17.[0-6] kernel since you last reported this problem?
