As a follow up, DiskWarrior did repair the problems. With the 80 GB external, it was able to go through the entire process of replacing the disk directory, but had an error at the end clearing the journal and told me to contact tech support. I restarted and ran disk utility, verified and repaired and it mounted fine. I ran DiskWarrior again on the drive and it had one item that it fixed and so far so good.
