[Herts] Mystery File

A file appeared in my home dir a while ago, here's the output from a
set of commands. Maybe someone will have an idea about what to do with
it.
ls -l ~
-rw-r--r-- 1 dave dave 0 Mar 24 17:56 ?|9O??
rm '?|90??'
rm: cannot remove `?|90??': No such file or directory
rm has typical behavior, more or less everything will give that error.
The file appears in gtk file browsers as shown here:

I can create another file (e.g. using nano) in the same dir with the
same name and work with that (rm and stuff works), when I run ls I can
see both, with identical names but seperate entries.
So I forced an e2fsck on the unmounted partition and it found nothing.
Any ideas?
David
