Try running mount when your system is running (if you can even get far enough
to do this) and see if the filesystems are mounted read-only (ro).
When I run mount on my system, the line for my root filesystem is...
/dev/hda1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
...if you see something similar, but ro where rw should be, then that might be
the reason everything is read-only.

I don't actually think it a hard drive issue as the sudden wealth of errors
seem to apply to 3 separate drives
/var/whatever is hda1
~/.kde/whatever is hdb
/music and all the bulk storage is a network drive on another machine.
