I think you have created the filesystem with -o inode64 and now you are 
remounting it without -o inode64.
After you created one file or directory with the inode64 option you NEED 
to always specify inode64 option at subsequent mounts or you won't be 
able to access such files/directories.
(Not sure if forgetting to use the option can even cause data corruption 
upon write. Might inode32 writes overwrite the inaccessible inode64 
files/dirs? XFS developers might know this.)
