A very strange problem - Help!

Platform: HP-UX.

I was working with a bunch files in a temp directory. When I am done I
deployed all the files to the working directory by copying them over. When I
remove the files from the temp directory, the directory somehow RECREATED a
bunch of duplicates of my html files and named them like this:
..nfs77563
..nfs97563
..nfsA7563
..nfsB7563

etc.

I can't delete them. If I delete one, it will clone itself and create
another one with different name! How strange. If I use rm -r from the upper
directory. the process goes into a loop. I can rename them but still, if I
delete the renamed files, these .nfs... files mysteriously reappeared!

Does anyone know what's going on?
