1. Have you tried the -q (--hide-control-chars) or -b (--escape) options of ls?
These will indicate non-printable chars in the name as either '?' or octal sequences.

e.g.

ls -l The*
-rw-r--r-- 1 lesley lesley 5175424 2009-10-15 15:21 The Helio Sequence - Lately.mp3

ls -lq The*
-rw-r--r-- 1 lesley lesley 5175424 2009-10-15 15:21 The Helio Sequence - Lately.mp3

ls -lb The*
-rw-r--r-- 1 lesley lesley 5175424 2009-10-15 15:21 The\ Helio\ Sequence\ -\ Lately.mp3

Failing any clues there, try lsattr, chattr?
Or check the hierarchy of permissions, got a .dir above with restrictions to owner only? 

All possibly barking up the wrong tree of course.
