I found the offending file (DPATH in my case, see my earlier posting) as
follows.

First, run NU to display the disk map. Use the position of the blob for the
unmovable file to get a rough estimate of the starting cluster number (NU
tells you the number of clusters per blob).

Second, use NU to look at the files around that area. Copy them off the disk
if possible.

Not trivial, but it beats trying every file on the disk.
