I'm on AIX, and in some directories I can't use the du command. I get the follow error message:

du: 0653-175 Cannot find the current directory.

Obviously the current directory exists, and I have permissions to it. I can list the directory and create files in it, both before and after I ran du. What could possibly be wrong here?

The du command works just fine in my home directory.

A quick google search turns up a bunch of forum posts of the same problem, but no clear answers.
