It was wrong, though: the last line should have been two: /PLIST/1.3/Wed Aug 12 01:55:17 1998// D > Nowadays I do most through NSC.

Have never mucked with inode tables myself, either. Good luck :-) One alternative, of course, is to move the entire directory which contains these corrupt entries to a subdirectory of lost+found. That way you won't get the space back (negligible loss), but you'll be able to use the file system. Not nice, but it'll do the trick.
