Got the same error while trying to shrink my windows partition and add
the extra space to my hardy's /

Indeed, there are a lot of hardy install cds with an outdated gparted
(mine was 0.3.5), so if you catch yourself in a middle of a resizing and
got this, maybe this may help you:

1. Open a terminal from your liveCD, and then:
 > sudo su
 > resize2fs -f /dev/xxx

where xxx is the code of the troublesome partition.

Usually, you shouldn't force resizing, but provided that e2fsck went all
ok, it worksaround the problem.

As Raf, i think that the problem is with the checking in resize2fs, dont
know if gparted people fixed that or did the force in its script.

The actual Hardy LiveCD gets shipped with the last gparted? i think i
need a new one (i need to stick with the LTS)

resize2fs asks to run 'e2fsck -f', even if you already did so
