I'm experiencing the same problem (RHL-5.2 w/ kernel 2.2.1-ac3, arla-0.21).
The following command sequence will reproduce the problem:
[lindstrm@hilda weird]$ ls -F
[lindstrm@hilda weird]$ ln -s '#test' TEST
ln: cannot create symbolic link `TEST' to `#test': No such file or directory
[lindstrm@hilda weird]$ ls -F
[lindstrm@hilda weird]$ fs flush
[lindstrm@hilda weird]$ ls -F
ls: TEST: No such file or directory
[lindstrm@hilda weird]$ rm TEST
rm: TEST: No such file or directory
[lindstrm@hilda weird]$ ls -F
ls: TEST: No such file or directory
[lindstrm@hilda weird]$
Would I have tried "ln -s 'test' TEST" instead nothing strange happens.
