If an object has turned invisible but can't be walked through then this suggests that the object information has got 
lost between the server and the client.  This is usually due to network bandwidth issues though it may also only show up 
after a configuration/version change.  Symptoms are that objects reappear on relogs and disappearance is not consistent. 
  The chief solution is to reduce network bandwidth usage in the viewer settings.

I'm surprised if this problem is showing up on a LAN though.

You need to use a regex more like grep -ve "^\s*;" or something :), as Robert suggested.
