I found OSX disk utility to be useless when something happens like
this. I still use a two step method of repair.
an old Norton system utilies based off of OS 9 use there symantechs disk
repair. and then OSX installer to repair the permissions. Just as it
saves me from having to having to pay for osx utilities....
