This cannot be good!

I had a couple of messages about Dirs not being found when running du.

I did an xfs_check /dev/vg04/lv_movies, got a lot of messages so I ran
xfs_repair /dev/vg04/lv_movies.

Now my filesystem has been moved to lost&found, and carefully encrypted
using, I'm assuming, i-node numbers.

correct

Short of looking at every file & dir, is there an easy way to rebuild my
file names?

Not that I know of, A XFS guru is better educated at guessing what went wrong.
Can you give me a bit more details about the system and what is was doing beforehand.

Did you compile this kernel yourself or was this a SGI release?
If you compiled it yourself I hope you did that using kgcc on redhat systems.
gcc-2.96-whatever is still not safe for data integrity.
