That's a good sign.

After some googling, I stumbled across a reference to issues with
hda=ide-scsi and ESX. I assume that it is only related to booting with the CD
ROM, right?
From the wiki.rpath.com site, I notice that there's a note about the
gparted-livecd not working. Specifically, "GRUB just hangs on boot".
Presumably this is different than your experience.

Sigh. I've seen some references that say that resize2fs can resize
online, but the man page says that it can't. Another reference says that
resize option in the mount command was removed from ext3 in January of 2006,
There seems to be some references that say that you need to convert ext3 to
ext2 first before you can use resize2fs.
Ummm.... Perhaps a reboot option without mounting /?

No experience with zenbackup, but have you tried running it as root? The
location where the mysql credentials are stored may only be available to root.
If you know the mysql username/password information, then you can add the
--dbuser
and
--dbpassword
options to zenbackup.
