  Steps to replicate the issue:
  1) .class files were checked into RTC, and subsequently removed
  
  2) after they were checked in, the sync failed, leaving the
  directory in ClearCase checked out.
  3) We had to manually uncheckout the directory in ClearCase
  which moved the .class files into lost+found
  4) We routinely clean-up lost+found using rmelem (the correct
  way to clean-up lost+found)
  5) sync is now failing because it's trying to sync a removed
  element in lost+found (somehow there is a remnant reference to
  element in lost+found)
