So, is it a hardware raid or something? are there any device related 
messages in the syslog?

A couple of questions here:

  - Do you really meant to check sdb, not sdb1 or sth.?
  - Why did you have to specify an alternative superblock here?
    Did it not run without -b?
  - Any chance you you could use a more current version of
    e2fsprogs (like 1.39 or so)?
  - Did you backup sdb *before* trying to fsck?
