Thanks Mark for your comment regarding Techtools. I thought I was
outnumbered, here. All that grating, gnashing of teeth and all...
another voice, yours, is sincerely appreciated. :-) Things can be
rough here, but overall they are nice people.... really!

Just wanted to chime in on a few things from this thread..
[truncated]
Techtool uses it's own hfs/hfs+ repair tools to do the dirty work (and
not fsck, which I bet drive genius does -- probably why neither fsck
or drive genius could fix the damage). Again the now gone Norton Disk
Doctor had yet another set of repair tools. These apps take a
different approach than Diskwarrior, in fact the opposite. They look
at the catalogs and then try to match up all the files in the
filesystem to them, repairing things as found and needed, and they do
a muc more in depth scan of the files themselves and rarely touch the
catalogs. have you ever seen the screen in Disk Doctor that dumped
you into the "filesaver" mode? That basically meant that the catalogs
were corrupted beyond repair and it did the diskwarrior type thing to
try and find any files that were intact...
