Question root has no access to file

Some files on a customer's Suse box are now not accesible - not even by root. Other files in the same directory are accesssible. It is an long existing box and has been running fine till this morning. There are no prying fingers and nobody but me has root access:

# ls ADSO33*
ls: ADSO33.DAT: Permission denied
ls: ADSO33.KEY: Permission denied

# sudo ls ADSO33*
ls: ADSO33.DAT: Permission denied
ls: ADSO33.KEY: Permission denied

# chmod 777 ADSO33.DAT
chmod: failed to get attributes of `ADSO33.DAT': Permission denied

I am baffled - I have NEVER seen that root cannot access a file.
