Update. I restored the two databases from backup, and used eseutil to clean them up. They mounted, and AFAIK, everybody is happy.
Thanks for the advice. It was actually fairly painless (just took quite a bit of time). Mark From: Michael B.

You must restore. There ARE other options, but they are very timeconsuming and potentially will not fix anything.

Everything running great until yesterday. We had major power issues yesterday and the server went down hard, and this morning I find that two of our 5 databases won't mount. (My email is on one of the good ones that do mount). Below is the error. I've changed the server and database name. I have done a shutdown, startup to see if that might help. All 5 databases are on the same raid set, so I don't think I have a hardware issue. >From what I can read (if my google fu is any good), my best option is to >recover from backup (the backup is done daily, using Windows native tools). >Recovery of Exchange databases is something I've never had to do before.
