Jim, I don't know what your computer background is, but the  
following, quoted from the original message and included in my first  
post in this thread makes it pretty clear to this computer  
professional that there really is file system damage:

3. Incorrect block count for filesystem.log
It should be 15987 instead of 15988 (---or is it  file system.log--- 
probably just one word.)

4. Invalid key length (4, 9807)

6. Warning: blocks on volume MacIntosch HD not allocated

9. After running fsck_hfs -fn /dev/disk0s9, I get these messages:
    ** /dev/rdisk0s9 (No WRITE)
**Root file system
**Checking HFS Plus volume
**Checking Extents Overflow file.
**Checking Catalog file.
    Invalid extent entry
(4, 9807)
**The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
**Volume check failed.
