Thanks for the advice! This did clear some, but unfortunately not many.
With my test group of #1* I was able to delete 16 of the 4171... but of
course that still leaves 4155 files. This is the output I got from
chattr -i \#1*:

chattr: Invalid argument while reading flags on #1118037
chattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device while reading flags on #1118068
chattr: No such device while reading flags on #1118105
chattr: No such device while reading flags on #1118128
chattr: No such device while reading flags on #1118148
chattr: No such device while reading flags on #1118176

I guess all of my trouble are because they are all invalid devices & pipes.
is there no way to clear these types of invalid devices?
