I don't know about solaris, but there's a good change that on IRIX
this is due to you using version 1 naming on your XFS filesystem. If
you run xfs_growfs -n /mountpoint, the output will tell you which
naming version is in use. Version 2 naming has been the default since
6.5.4.

Unless you need to use the filesystem on a really ancient IRIX
version, I strongly recommend you move to version 2 naming.
Unfortunately, this is a dump and restore task. If you can't change
the filesystem, Jeremy did change the directory code to handle this,
but iirc it was checked in after 3.0.14a released.
