I'd suggest upgrading to 2.5.9 and see if that fixes the problem. Both 
in 2.5.8 and 2.5.9, bugs with gbak were fixed. Those bug fixes don't 
match the description of this problem, but it never hurts to try with a 
newer version.

It should be -mend, not - mend. However, did you read all the caveats 
about using -mend in the gfix documentation[1] as it can cause loss of data?

However, did gfix output any information about problems?

Preferably start with gfix -validate -full -no_update
then move to gfix -validate -full
and only use gfix -mend as a last resort (and make a copy of the 
database before running it!).
