Those messages mean fs corruption (directory entry has format which was not
expected), the reason could be hardware failure or rare software bug (because,

run fsck.reiserfs and follow instructions which it prints,
backup partition before --rebuild-tree.
"fsck.reiserfs --fix-fixable" should repaire damaged dir entries, but i am not
sure.
