I would love to get my hands on that filesystem and be able to run e2fsck under gdb to figure out what's going on. This looks like something entirely new. Unfortunately this is so bug that e2image will probably create a truly huge file that will take forever to transfer. Is there any possibility I can get remote access to the machine, or perhaps if that's not possible you can run it under a debugger, maybe under some kind of remote VNC connection so I can see what you're seeing and a telephone call so we can work this problem together?
