Maxtor Firewire drive problem

The other night my Maxtor 3000XT 160GB Firewire drive stopped working (this is under 10.1). When I powered up my PowerMac G4 I could see the lights of the drive turning on as usual. I would then get the message that the drive could not be mounted because the volume could not be recognized. I tried Disk Utility. The Maxtor was recognized and got the following message:

Verifying disk "Harmony"
Can't open /dev/risk1s9: Permission denied
Verify completed.

Seeing "Permission denied" made me think it was a problem relating to Mac OS X. I then ran Psuedo and dropped the Disk Utility app on it. Again the Maxtor was recognized and when I ran "Repair" I got the following message:

Repairing disk "Harmony".
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Keys out of order
Repair completed.

Can anyone tell me what Keys out of order means? Is this something I can fix on my own?
