Sounds like a revision is corrupt. fsfsverify may be able to fix it.
You can download it from:
http://www.szakmeister.net/fsfsverify/
If you still have an issue, email me privately with a link of where to
download the bad revision and I can likely repair it.
HTH!

Thanks for the reply, I'll try fsfsverify. I'll let you know how it
goes, and thanks for the offer of manually repairing it. I may take you
up on it yet :)
