Dear Nikolaus,
Thank you for your time. I've compiled a list of the entire situation. I
would appreciate your guidance.
On the 2014-06-17, due to a security issues, the S3 bucket was 'uncleanly'
unmounted.
fsck logs shows this:

The drive has been mounted since 2013-07-01. The S3 drive and server were
working just fine
The mount log is showing this:

I have a backup of local metadata before the reboot:

So I goto run fsck.s3ql
fsck.s3ql s3://3273a750-49d0-11e2-98bf-x/
Starting fsck of s3://3273a750-49d0-11e2-98bf-x/
Ignoring locally cached metadata (outdated).
Backend reports that file system is still mounted elsewhere. Either
the file system has not been unmounted cleanly or the data has not yet
propagated through the backend. In the later case, waiting for a while
should fix the problem, in the former case you should try to run fsck
on the computer where the file system has been mounted most recently.
Enter "continue" to use the outdated data anyway:
> quit
I find the combination of these comments confused me (I'm a bit slow:)
"Ignoring locally cached metadata (outdated)" and "Enter "continue" to use
the outdated data anyway". To me this suggests it's going to use 'outdated'
date, which it already identified as locally cached. Unless both the
locally cached metadata is (outdated) and the remote data is outdated,
compared to what?
So, I am confused as how to proceed. Right now I have the options
A) Run fsck.s3ql and Enter "continue" to use the outdated data anyway.
B) Apply your patch and force the local metadata to be used.
Please, any assistance is greatly appreciated.
