Yes, we had the same problem on one of our own machines. The
problem was a corrupt parent directory. As you will probably
now, fsck does not check the contents of files so it will
report no errors.

Try checking the file system with 'ncheck -a <file-system>'.
If this doesn't help, examine /usr, /usr/lib and /usr/lib/uucp
with 'ls -il' or 'od -c <directory-name>'.
