This is the same problem that I reported some time ago.
It seems to happen (at least sometimes) when one tries to
copy a large batch of files onto the disk and there isn't room for them all.
The only way I know of to straighten it out is to reformat the disk,
or at least to reinitialize the filesystem.
I never did get an answer as to what was wrong.
