We made an image of a partition by using dd. Original filesystem is ext3 (4k block-size).
was it really a backup of a partition or did you backup a whole disk? (dd if=/dev/hda1 vs. dd if=/dev/hda)
Fsck.ext3 ends in lots of inode-errors and the following one: Error while iterating over blocks in inode 131736: Illegal triply indirect block found e2fsck: aborted
please make sure to use a current version of e2fsprogs and a current kernel.
We are also willing to pay a fair amount of money for recovery.
hm, a couple of weeks ago i too was in the need of ext3-recovery and some *really* famous recovery-specialist told me: "ext3? no, not possible at all." (except for grep'ing through the fs as "usual")
