B***cks - I was **sure** I did a full reiserfsck by hand on /usr but I've
just done one again and this time it's thrown up errors
requiring --rebuild-tree. I've done that, re-installed krb5 and we're
pretty well back up and running :)

I had the same problems that you had, where reiserfs isolated some broken
files by deny access to them.

The only permanent way to fix it is to replace the disk, but I made a backup,
and was running badblocks , and then created a new filesystem with mkfs.reiserfs
-- badblocks <file> and it's still running fine after recover of some files
from older backups.

You can use rpm --verify <package> to detect broken files, or even for all
packages with rpm --verify $(rpm -qa) but it will complain about everything
and give a long list files you changed, or just touched.
