Frederik,
  I see nothing in 2.6.17-6 that looks like it could reasonably cause
this - but there was an XFS corruption bug that was fixed in
2.6.17-5. Did you ever mount this fs with an earlier 2.6.17 kernel?

I would suggest forcing a run of xfs_repair on your fs, and retrying
2.6.17-6. Please let us know how that works for you.
