You probably have unprintable letters in the file/directory name. Try

ls -l | cat -ev

That should show you any hidden characters. Then you can use a suitable wildcard to isolate the file for whatever operations you want to perform with it.

Post the output of the above command, if you need more help with it.

Was the listing in your original post complete?

Post the output of "ls | cat -ev", if you can.

Okay, so it's not a filename problem.

That leaves filesystem corruption as the top suspect. Are you the admin?

It can also be an issue with your disk space...
Check with df -ef that you got some free space on your filesystem.
