I'm running 2.6.32 (and now 2.6.33) with reiserfs filesystems too and 
cannot reproduce what you're seeing. Can you run mv/cp through strace and 
provide the output? Also, if you can: maybe setting REISERFS_CHECK in your 
kernel config might reveal something useful.

Is this reproducible with 2.6.33-rcX as well? If so, I'd recommend to try 
again with plain 2.6.32 and if it's still there, I see no other way to 
narrow it down but with a git bisection (man git-bisect).

Christian.
