    This is very indicative of an open file handle not having been 
closed properly, and even after removing the physical file, the drive 
structure still believes it's there.

    In my case, that was a syslog issue where I deleted a file, but its 
handle remained open.  Restarting syslog took care of it.

    In your case, I would suggest restarting whatever process it is that 
writes to those files on that drive, and failing that, restart the 
computer and force a file check on that drive.
