I fixed some bugs along these lines several months ago (very, *very* broken,
sigh). I also fixed up fsck so it fixed such damage, and I think that was
around the time I taught fsck to repair things as well as detect them. If
you could take a look at:

        ftp://ftp.zendo.com/vsta/snap/*061297

and tell me whether the vstafs stuff in there is better, I'd be eager to
know.
