Have you tried booting with your rescue disk, and doing a recover using the 
backup superblock?  (fsck -b 8193 /dev/whatever) 

It's possible your master superblock bit the big one...  You may be able to 
recover from a backup (the above line assumes you used some default 
configs, it should work in 99% of the cases I come across)
