*Description :
One of the command options on fsr_xfs is to defragment an
individual file. This does not work, it gets as far as the
open by handle code which fails because the file is not
a directory. The open by handle code needs a directory to
work from. fsr probably needs changing to use a different
file descriptor than the exact file we are attempting to
defragment.
