Do you know what block size the fs uses? 8193 is only for 1k blocks. e2fsck(8) doesn't tell you where the alternate blocks are (except the first - 8193, 16384, 32768 for 1k, 2k, and 4k blocks) - it says to use mke2fs -n (the man page is here if you need it: http://linux.ctyme.com/man/man0437.htm). It makes sense that they are multiples of 8k, but you may be off by one here or there. You might try mke2fs -n before you go the -S route (and you need the block size for that too, anyway).
