This is the oid of your object that has a problem. I guess this is the oid 
assigned to your new new folder.

This is the serial number of the revision of this object that was loaded at 
the start of this transaction. All zeros means it want loaded - it was newly 
created.

This is the serial number of the most recent version in the storage. But the 
object is newly created.... it shouldnt be in there! It looks like 
FileStorage has assigned the new object an oid that is already in use, but 
then noticed its mistake when comitting the transaction.

I dont see why this would be caused by a corrupt data.fs, so your data might 
still be intact. Some things to try.....

0. If you havent already, take a backup of data.fs and data.fs.index

1. Are you using ZEO? if so, which version? try without.

2. Are there any unusual messages in the stupid log file that might give a 
clue about why it has assigned a bogus oid?

3. Try shutting down zope/zeo, deleting data.fs.index, and restarting. This 
file is a cache used to improve startup time. This first restart will be a 
little slower than normal because FileStorage is rebuilding its index - and 
hopefully this will fix your problem.
