All the files in question were created on the same day and at least 2 of the 3 recent files were corrupt *before* they were deleted. I've since checked all the files created on the same day and 4 out of 1,267 are corrupt. This gives me hope that running jfs_fsck 4 more times will fix the file system. It would be faster to just go in and remove the corrupt files by hand but since the file system is marked dirty I can only mount it read-only.. Is there a way to force it to be read-write? If this is possible, how dangerous would it be to remove the 4 corrupt files manually?

You could use jfs_debugfs to set the superblock state to clean. The
commands are:
sup
m 12 0
x
q

I think under the circumstances, this should be safe.
