Hi,

Well, I did undelete some files I accidently lost on a ReiserFS partition.
It is a bit tricky and I can't remember exactly how I did it.
Here goes:

Unmount the drive a.s.a.p after you deleted the file
Make a backup of the partition
run reiserfsck --rebuild-tree --scan-whole-partition
remount.
Copy the deleted file to another partition
Re-"install" the backup

Something like that.

There is a mail about this in the reiserfs mail archives. I don't remember
the author so you have to search manually.
