It's probably a long shot, but you may try removing bad file using
illumos (ex opensolaris) system (or liveCD). In the past it used to be
a little bit more robust than FreeBSD when it came to dealing with
filesystem corruption. In one case I had illumos printed out a message
about corrupt pool and remained up and running while FreeBSD would
just crash when I tried mounting the pool.
