I dunno about those errors.

What you can always do:

1) Update your backup - you have a backup, don´t you? Use a file based 
backup via rsync -aAXHSP or so.

2) Try repairing the filesystem.

3) If it fails redo the filesystem from scratch by formatting it and 
replaying your backup.

Maybe someone else can help with the meaning of the errors.

Ciao,
