Why do it the hard way?
Whoa! Wouldn't it just be easier to run Disk Warrior to fix the partition? Or am I missing something?
The down side of this could be that forcing a volume to mount could cause the OS to make a bad directory even worse. The next time it might not forcibly mount and it might not even be fixable with Disk Warrior. I consider my data to be very valuable so I like turning on journaling to protect from this kind of problem in the first place. See this hint (among others) to turn on journaling.

Whoa! Wouldn't it just be easier to run Disk Warrior to fix the partition? Or am I missing something? You missed something; the poster doesn't have any third party utilities. Reminds me of the time I had a corrupted disk but had to wait four weeks for Alsoft to ship me a Disk Warrior upgrade CD.. Fortunately for me, I was able to boot off a second drive and mount the necessary partitions of the bad drive to access my data. In other words, not everybody has those nifty third party tools -- or the time or resources to acquire them -- in a crisis. ---
