May be a dumb question, but please explain inode.  (I'll read man page 
for debugfs, though.)

I don't think that is the case because the other partitions on the drive 
aren't having problems.  Also, when I ran (and ran and ran and ran, 
etc.) fschk it pointed to this file a number of times.  I am estimating 
that the file name contains about 300 characters.  The name was created 
automatically with easyTAG, and the particular file contains a medley of 
tunes, ergo long name.  Is there a way to force a rename on a ro-mounted 
file system?
