You might want to give Knoppix a try:

I just recently used Knoppix to recover a Windows laptop and it was a
real lifesaver. Hopefully you can just march right into those folders
since Linux won't bother trying to respect your Mac user accounts.
Hello List:
I'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion for recovering files from
user
accounts (non-admin) on a failing OS X drive (10.4.11).
I don't know yet if the drive is going bad or if the system is simply
corrupt, but I'm hoping to be able to rescue some files from a user
account.
I've tried using DiskWarrior on the drive, and it's able to see
pretty much
all of the disk, but when attempting look into folders that reside
under
user accounts, they show up as inaccessible, just as one would
expect when
normally browsing in the Finder.
I get that user accounts are normally inaccessible unless one is
logged in
as that user, but I'm hoping someone might know of a utility or
process to
be able to extract files from these kind of accounts and "de-
protect" them
based on the login information (or if this is even possible).
BTW, I'm accessing the problem drive from an external disk/system -- I
cannot boot up from the problem disk (freezes at the Apple logo).
