If you can, please upgrade to a current version of e2fsprogs:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2406

Please check your system logfiles/dmesg for disk/IO errors.

If there are any, your best bet is to save the raw data to a save place 
(with "dd" or better "dd_rescue") and try e2fsck again on the saved 
image, eg.:

# dd_rescue if=/dev/your_CF_disk of=~/not-on-your-CF-disk/CF.img
# e2fsck ~/not-on-your-CF-disk/CF.img

...and see what it gives.
