Could you outline exactly what takes place on a rebuild-tree?
I was under the incorrect assumption that if a rebuild-tree is 100% successful then the FS is ok and a subsequent rebuild-tree will have nothing to fix/report. .....

Version of reiserfsk ====================== == From debian sarge /sbin/reiserfsck -V reiserfsck 3.6.19 (2003 www.namesys.com) == also used the version in knoppix 3.7 with similar results
the output of two consecutive runs of --rebuild-tree on the same unmounted partition are attached. Below is the diff
rebuild-tree finds some blocks that looks like reiserfs formatted blocks for the first sight whereas they are not and just belongs to some file bodies. The consistency check reveals no valid metadata in them, so they are considered as not valid reiserfs formatted blocks
and left not modified on disk. This is why the second run of rebuild-tree
finds them again and tries to do all the stuff again.
