Strange errors (in SCSI code?)

In the past 2 days I've gotten two strange errors out of my kernel, the
first was 1.3.31, the second 1.3.32. Both occurred while running 'mv'
as root and moving files between subdirectories on my SCSI Syquest
drive. I'll generate any ksymoops-like info that would be helpful
to you as far as address/stack traces but I don't know what would be
helpful. The mv process will not die, cannot be kill'd or kill -9'd
by root.

Here's the ps -aguxww entry:

root 2864 0.0 0.9 37 176 pp3 D 20:40 0:00 mv -i destroy.au bnb

And the syslog info:
