[CLUE-Tech] corrupted ext2 directory?

Hey all, I have an odd problem that I can't seem to figure out.

My nightly backups are done by 'dump' to tape.

Recently I started getting this:

DUMP: dumping (Pass III) [directories]
/dev/sda2: EXT2 directory corrupted while converting directory #7569431

/dev/sda2 is on a mirrored RAID volume.

I rebooted the machine and ran fsck on the partition.  No errors were 
reported and no action was taken.  The whole system seems to be 
operating correctly.  There are no other symptoms, and I can tar the 
whole partition up and copy it across the network (which I'm doing as a 
workaround for backups right now).

So I'm wondering:

1) has anyone seen this before?
2) how did you fix it?
3) is there some util that can tell me the actual NAME of directory 
#7569431?

Maybe it's somthing in /tmp and i could just blow it away and not worry 
about it.

Thanks,
Dan
