I am trying to delete files from a user directory, but can't. Here are 
the file attributes, my attempted commands, and the results:
ls -al
total 124356467
drwx-----  2 cyrus    cyrus             4096 Oct   6  15:47
drwx-----  3 cyrus    cyrus             4096 Oct   6  15:47
?r--r-S--T 1893        1891    4294967295 Dec   6  1973 127.
?4--r-S--T 1901       1903    4294967295 Dec   6   1973 128.

The files I want to delete are 127. and 128. When I type rm -r 127. I get:
rm: cannot unlink  '127.': Operation not pemitted

I have tried to rename the files:
mv: 127.: unknown file type

I have tried chmod 777 127.
chmod:  127.: Operation not permitted

Any help out there? These are (were) email messages, so I hope I am not 
posting to the wrong list.
