found too something similar from one vserver root dir:

13:59:02 root[pts/1]@valhalla /vservers/blog# l -b
total 13K
...
drwx------  2 root root   48 Mar 13 12:55 \200\270\024\b/
drwx------  2 root root   48 Mar 14 15:24 \310\272\247\267\310\272\247\267/
drwx------  3 root root   72 Mar 13 12:54 \330\312\247\267\330\312\247\267e/

only the last one contained empty dirs:

14:03:55 root[pts/1]@valhalla /vservers/blog# find  ????????e ???? ????????  -prune |egrep -v 'boot|home|proc|root|sbin'|xargs ls -lbR
