does it look like this:

plan9-2% ls -l
--rwxr-xr-x M 96 andrey andrey 0 Jul 16 22:44 b16.81F7-8202
plan9-2% rm *
rm: b16.81F7-8202: 'b16.81F7-8202' corrupted file entry
plan9-2% echo 'begone' > b16.81F7-8202
b16.81F7-8202: rc: can't open: file already exists
plan9-2%

if this is the case 'clri' would fix it on the fossil console. run
fossil/flchk on it and you may see something like:

# clri /snapshot/2003/0721/1500/usr/andrey/font/efont/b16/b16.81F7-8202

(with your corresponding file entry, of course)

if that's not the case, try the 'remove' command on the fossil console.
