[lug] Directory problem

I was moving a lot of files (many 1000s) to a directory when my machine 
spontaneously rebooted.  First time that has ever happened (maybe an ECC 
error???), and maybe a subject for a future post, but in the meantime...

I was moving these files to a directory I named 2007.  This directory 
currently looks like:
/data1/ARM/Mentor/SGP>ls -l
total 5856
drwxr-xr-x 2 hodges hodges 1137544 2009-08-31 14:56 2005/
drwxr-xr-x 2 hodges hodges 1127624 2009-08-31 14:55 2006/
?--------- ? ?      ?            ?                ? 2007
drwxr-xr-x 2 hodges hodges  872456 2009-08-31 16:07 2007a/
drwxr-xr-x 2 hodges hodges  915720 2009-08-31 14:46 2008/
drwxr-xr-x 2 hodges hodges  715616 2009-08-31 14:44 2009/

I can't do anything with 2007 now (cd, ls, chmod, chown, sudo or 
otherwise).  I know some files were put in 2007 before the reboot.  I 
tucked the remaining ones in 2007a for now.  Is there anything I can do 
to resurrect directory 2007?
