[PLUG] crazy files that won't go away

I have some crazy files that I'm trying to remove that come up with
these file permissions:

---x--s-wt  26227 56055    60670    14824589347723701499 Dec 31  1969
fileName1
?rw-rwx-w-  32767 2941226196 1609689289 1027023128 Feb 19  1919 fileName2
dr-Srw-rw-  31456 1751260639 2763083169 2924571121 Jul  7  1978 fileName3
?r-Sr-S-wx  32767 439703130 2443739173 2926262202 Dec  5  1922 fileName4

These were files that were moved from another server to the new
server. I can't remove them or delete them from the server as root. 
If I try ti get:

rm: remove write-protected regular file `fileName1'? y
rm: cannot remove `fileName1': Operation not permitted

I'm doing this as root on the machine that has the file.  This is a
Redhat  2.4.21-4.ELsmp #1 SMP machine.  LVM Raid as well.

I rsync'd the files from another Redhat 9 box and this is how some of
them are coming out.  There are many others like this.  If I could
just remove them that would be fine.  I have also tried 'unlink' but I
can't do that either.

thoughts? suggestions?  My next thought as of now is backup my data
and rebuild the Raid.  Hate to do that.

Thanks for any guidance,

Josh
