Somebody, > please help! Looks like you're doing your fsck while the filesystem is mounted read-write. Don't do that. Unmount it first (single-user mode is good for this), and *then* fsck it. You probably won't find any problems at that time, though -- the unreferenced file handles may just be normal open handles that will be cleaned up when the filesystem is umounted and flushed to disk.
