This is part of the ongoing saga with, what appears to be, a bug either in the kernel or reiserfs or both with OpenSuSE 11. Fairly extensively documented at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=389656
... Attempts to delete those directory trees give the following error:
cannot remove `xorg-server-1.4.2/GL': Input/output error
It's telling you that the drive reported an error when trying to read or write a sector required to complete that operation. This is almost certainly a hardware problem. One or more sectors on that drive have become inaccessible.

Any ideas on how to clean this filesystem or is the dreaded (80+GB of data to juggle around) rebuild my only option? Thanks in advance for any help.
You may be able to keep using that drive if you completely reconsitute its contents and there are sufficient reserved sectors to handle remapping the now-defunct sector. Otherwise, replace the drive.
