You can remove files like this using the POSIX subsystem.

I had a problem like this. I had an upload directory on anonymous ftp
that
was set write only. Some wonderful person tagged it with a directory
called
com1. Couldn't get rid of it for the life of me (win2k system). I
still
have a write only anonymous upload directory, but I disabled directory
create. Anyone know how to get rid of a directory named with a
system-reserved name? Other than deleting the drive. And how would you
create it in the first place?

Undeletable files are a norm among warez sites. Also hidden and/or undeletable directories are also a trademark. There was a discussion here about it a few months back. Essentially, it's a last ditch effort to prevent the sysadmin from cutting off the warez ftp. Usually keeps the site going for a few minutes extra :)
