Since that file name seems to have a lot of control characters you 
could try this to get the inode number:

ls -lRi /Volumes/CLEARLIGHT/.Trashes/501/legoland

find /Volumes/CLEARLIGHT/.Trashes/501/legoland -type f -exec ls -li {} 
\;

find /Volumes/CLEARLIGHT/.Trashes/501/legoland -type f -ls


If they don't reveal the inode number directly at once you'll be able 
to find it with some thinking.

as a German, and France will declare that I am a citizen of the world.
Should my theory prove untrue, France will say that I am a German, and
Germany will declare that I am a Jew.          --Albert Einstein, 1929
