I have a dir thats shows up in dolphin (I'm useing kde4).
It shows up on the command line using ls.
I'm the owner and its permissions are drwxr-xr-x
But I can't do anything with.
In dolphin I double try to enter and it says the file or folder doesn't exist. From the command line it says No such file or directory.
I've logged out and used the F1 terminal to login as root and have unmounted the partition (the dir is in /home) and done a fsck -t ext4 /dev/sdb1. This reports no errors.
I'm at a lost as to what to do next. Any ideas.

What is the name of the folder? Are there some weird characters in it?
for F in * ; do echo "|$F|" ; done

There are no weird characters in it. The folder name is:
iggy & The Stooges (2013) - ready To Die
I ran the command above and it showed nothing at the beginning or the end.
|iggy & The Stooges (2013) - ready To Die|

Well that is strange... If you rename it (in bash) to something else can you open it in Dolphin then? And rename it back?

It won't let me do anything with it in bash as insists it dosen't exists:
mv "iggy & The Stooges (2013) - ready To Die" xxxx
mv: cannot stat ‘iggy & The Stooges (2013) - ready To Die’: No such file or directory
cp "iggy & The Stooges (2013) - ready To Die" xxxx
cp: cannot stat ‘iggy & The Stooges (2013) - ready To Die’: No such file or directory
ls -lh
total 3.2G

Whoa thank you. That worked.
For info
1) ls -i
57019817 iggy & The Stooges (2013) - ready To Die
2) find . -inum 57019817 -exec mv {} newname \
find: `./iggy & The Stooges (2013) - ready To Die': No such file or directory
So now I have a dir called newname (the cons of cut & paste) that I can now CD into and the iggy dir is no more.
Once more thank you
