I'm pretty sure this was fixed in 2.6.37. There's nothing wrong with
the filesystem, just the kernel code had an arbitrary restriction on
where inodes code be read from in 32-bit inode mode. That was
removed in commit d276734 ("xfs: fix bogus m_maxagi check in
xfs_iget").

xfs_reno is a tool designed to move all 64 bit inodes back into the
32 bit inode space again.
