Deleting Redundant Time Machine Backup v2

With ssh, you'd enter
cd /data/.timemachine
to navigate into the .timemachine folder

root@NASHNAS:~# cd /data/.timemachine
-bash: cd: /data/.timemachine: Input/output error

That works on my system.
Do you see the folder if you enter this:
# ls -al /data/ | grep -i .timemachine
Here is what I am getting:
root@NASHNAS:~# cd /data/.timemachine
-bash: cd: /data/.timemachine: Input/output error
root@NASHNAS:~# # ls -al /data/ | grep -i .timemachine
root@NASHNAS:~#
