fsck.gfs2 outputs "RG recovery impossible; I can't fix this file system"

I have a CentOS release 5.2 (Final)host running kernel 2.6.18-92.el5 with at raid 10 that had two mirrored drives fail. The drives were re-inserted and now the raid shows healthy (for now). I tried to mount but got an Input/output error. I then attempted a fsck:
fsck.gfs2 -y /dev/vg_01/uss_vol

This returned the following output (in part):

Block #3518628215 (0xd1ba0177) (21 of 33) is neither GFS2_METATYPE_RB nor GFS2_METATYPE_RG.

(level 3 failed)
RG recovery impossible; I can't fix this file system.


Now when I try to mount the file system I recieve the following output
[root@host/]# mount /123
/sbin/mount.gfs2: error mounting /dev/mapper/vg_01-123_vol on /123: No such file or directory

/123 exists

The etc/fstab line is:
/dev/vg_01/123_vol /123 gfs2 noatime 1 2

That line is the dame on all other hosts and is verified to be correct.

Any ideas how to get this FS mounted?
