Invalid leaf record

[mobius127]

Getting repetitive red error "Invalid leaf record count (should be 2 instead of 8)" when running Disc First Aid from install disc (3 runs). Reinstalled OS 10.4 with archived folder, same error message. Trashed folder, same error message.

Disc first aid fixed other problems, and trucated Photoshop files and kernal panic freezes have not reoccurred.

Since disc first aid doesn't correct the invalid leaf record count and I can't even find what a leaf record is ... any roadmap to a solution?
