It seems odd that two different machines are experiencing the same

Applejack won't help with an external drive
Thanks, sometimes I forget that external HDDs aren't supported for SMART or
Applejack.
and it and Disk Warrior do
different things. DW fixes corrupted volume directories. That's all it does,
but it does that one thing very well.
I suggested both because the cause is unknown. DW is probably more likely to fix
it, but running fsck from Open Firmware instead of the boot drive, and possibly
permissions repair, might be helpful.
