Rumours I have heard about reiserfsck suggest to me that taking a backup 
is *highly* recommended before doing reiserfsck.

Some copying/backup programs have options to ignore specific files or 
directories.  That might be applicable here.

By the way, can you mv the file to a less in-the-way place?  I once 
managed that for a nonexistent file on an ext2 filesystem.  With various 
command-line options on tar I could back up around it.  I didn't manage 
to actually get rid of it, though, except by reformatting the partition.

Woould this be an application for and inode editor?
