OK, could you give me some samples of the error messages and the output of 
the "stat" command on the files that they report? Also what kind of 
filesystem are those files stored on, and the output of the "mount" 
command or contents of /proc/mounts?

These reports show that the client has been moving files around. They may 
be harmless, but if those object IDs are the IDs of files reported by the 
client as having conflicting parent IDs, then it means that the client has 
wrongly moved them to new locations.

What does "compare -aq" say about the client's data?

Cheers, Chris.
