Since last boot, I've got this strange symptom. Filesystem is btrfs. If I list my home dir with dired under emacs I see:

Attempt to list with ls gives: /usr/bin/ls: cannot access '/home/nbecker/./.bash_history': No such file or directory
I think this means there is a directory entry, but the file doesn't exist? Any suggestion to most reliably repair the damage? I don't care about losing the content of this file.
I assume you're executing the commands as yourself. If you "su -" and become root do you see any difference?
No, same result as root sudo ls -la .

Very odd that it should repeat the message 6 times.....
Not that I'm confident this will be any different but how about disabling selinux temporarily?
sudo setenforce 0 and then try ls?
