It sounds like you do not have ext3 compiled into your kernel and the
filesystem is being mounted as ext2.  The output from "mount" is lying,
check /proc/mounts for the truth.  Make sure you have a journal on the
filesystem, by looking at output of "dumpe2fs -h <device>" for "has_journal"
feature, and if mounted as ext3 it should also show "needs_recovery".
