This is where we lose some of the context from earlier postings. At
this point, I am just trying to recover my files on the "suspect"
drive, before I try to let DiskWarrior loose on the suspect drive. I
am just trying to save a backup copy of my files on a "non-suspect"
Firewire drive at /mnt/osx2. The problem being that /mnt/osx2 seems to
only want to be in a "read-only state when mounted under Xubuntu.

The files on the suspect drive can't be recovered under OS X until I
run DiskWarrior. The problem being that I risk losing at least some of
the files when DiskWarrior recovers the directory b-tree catalog.
