Well, here are some ideas. But I can't say how far they will get you.

1. Check dmesg. See if there is anything funny going on there. Especially
look for inode errors. There are ways to "fix" reiserfs, but they are not
the same as ext2/3. An fsck in reiserfs will not do the same things the ext
versions do.

2. Check here http://www.namesys.com/faq.html#nfs to see if this applies to
you.

3. On the ext3 filesystem you can try using lsattr to check for the
immutable flag (it will be an "i" on the left with the "-"s). If this is set
you can not perform anything but reads to the files. man chattr for more
info.

Hope it helps. Good luck.
