Err...I did not mention the partition. The only time I did, I gave the 
wrong partition (a DOS partition) as the argument. My mistake.

I ran fsck and mentioned the offending partition and voila the 
errors got corrected. Thanks for pointing that out.

Sorry to those who tried helped me earlier (and who probably 
pulled their hair out after seeing why fsck did not work in the first 
place). My mistake.

Bye,
Arun.
