Could this be caused by my using the -n option on e2fsck (see my 
reply to Eric)?

No dice:

   newraidfs: Note: if several inode or block bitmap blocks or part
   of the inode table require relocation, you may wish to try
   running e2fsck with the '-b 32768' option first.  The problem
   may lie only with the primary block group descriptors, and
   the backup block group descriptors may be OK.

   newraidfs: Block bitmap for group 7808 is not in group.  (block 3731742663)

   newraidfs: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
	  (i.e., without -a or -p options)

Thanks,
