Hi!

Thanks to all who replied to the inquiry:

Vinnie German, Luc I. Suryo, Neezam Haniff, Anatoliy Lisovskiy

And I hope Mark Costello will find the way back to his office on
Wednesday, November 12th. ;-)

Even the filesystem was checked successfully, this may be a filesystem
issue. So I will try to fsck -fm / fsck -f the filesystem next time I
can bring the production server down. Hope this helps.

from Vinnie:

There seems to be no other solution/reason.

The UTF-8 characters in the name of the first directory are not the
problem. Mind that the second failing dir does not contain any special
chars in the path.

Thanks!
