The last time this happened to me (solaris 8 running transarc 3.6 2.26), I found that salvaging the problem volume alone wasn't enough.... I even tried specifiying "-tmpdir /tmp -orphans remove" without success.
What finally worked for me was salvaging the entire partition housing the problem volume. Unfortunately, that will temporarily stop the fs process on that fileserver, so plan ahead by moving the other volumes or scheduling a few minutes' downtime. PS. I never did track down the cause of the problem, but whatever it is affects the transarc version above too.
