Corrupted files

Hello,

	I have an issue with my primary RAID array.  I have 13T of data on the 
array, and I suffered a major array failure.  I was able to rebuild the 
array, but some data was lost.  Of course I have backups, so after 
running xfs_repair, I ran an rsync job to recover the lost data.  Most 
of it was recovered, but there are several files that cannot be read, 
deleted, or overwritten.  I have tried running xfs_repair several times, 
but any attempt to access these files continuously reports "cannot stat 
XXXXXXXX: Structure needs cleaning".  I don't need to try to recover the 
data directly, as it does reside on the backup, but I need to clear the 
file structure so I can write the files back to the filesystem.  How do 
I proceed?
