Can you get log snippets showing why the journal had issues?

I've done this before with regular disk drives (going from a 200G to a 500G SATA in this laptop I'm using right now; I used dd to copy, then I booted just fine. I then rebooted with a liveCD and did the partition moving/enlargement that I needed to do.
Geometry issues used to be bears, but in the days of LBA (and with SCSI drives) there really isn't a 'geometry' to speak of at the OS or partition level. The 'geometry' you quoted has the standard 255 heads and 63 sectors pseudo-geometry for both devices, and even in the days of real chs geometry issues those issues revolved around the number of heads and the number of sectors per track rather than the number of cylinders on the volume.
The dd way of copying to CF is pretty standard these days, and works almost all the time. But this is all speculation without seeing what is causing the filesystem to go read-only.
