Glad it also worked for you.

I decided it would be good to make sure the filesystem was always
consistent.  So, not being a programmer, I shamelessly copied the
relevant part of the script in /etc/init.d/boot.localfs to check the
status of the filesystem and fsck it if needed.  I actually put my
backup script together back during 8.2, so I used the code for then. 
When 9.3 started automounting, I changed to always umount first, then
fsck, then mount and backup.  With 10.2, I needed to tweak it some to
umount by the dev rather than mountpoint, but other than that it has
worked very well.

No problem.  No use in struggling to solved what has already been
solved. :-)
