###########################

root@server1 [~]# mkdir 1a1
root@server1 [~]# mv 1a1 1
mv: cannot move `1a1' to `1': No such file or directory root@server1 [~]#

On the affected server

###########################

root@server1 [~]# rpm -vV coreutils | grep mkdir .......T /bin/mkdir
........ d /usr/share/man/man1/mkdir.1.gz root@server1 [~]#
