I was also going to recommend the unlink. We have had to do this as well, the unlink worked for us. It did need to be run with privileges for the file. (root in our case.)

Did you also verify that after this message is posted, that the file isn't actually unlinked? I suspect that the file name was unlinked, but an error is returned from destroying the OST object, but that is fine since the OST is dead and gone anyway. What error messages are posted on the console log (dmesg/syslog)?
