My hfs+ ipod refuses to mount rw.

dmesg contains:

HFS+-fs warning: Filesystem was not cleanly unmounted, running
fsck.hfsplus is recommended. mounting read-only.

fsck_hfs runs OK with the following output:
** /dev/sdb3
** Checking HFS Plus volume.
** Checking Extents Overflow file.
** Checking Catalog file.
   Keys out of order
(4, 3)
** Rebuilding Catalog B-tree.

but the hfsplus volume on the ipod still appears to be read only.
Any ideas anyone?
