I fixed a problem post-1.1.7 that fixes a problem with phase1 bailing
out when it shouldn't.  The source for jfsutils-1.1.8 is available at
http://jfs.sourceforge.net/project/pub/jfsutils-1.1.8.tar.gz
I think that version 1.1.8 will get you further, although I don't know
how messed up the volume is.
