Got a Sick Feeling - AdVFS Error!

OO Boy...

I had shipped a DEC Alpha Personal Workstation loaded
with 4.0D and Oracle8i and a lot of code across the country.
It was working fine here. It was shutdown,halted fine.
I got a call from the remote site saying they couldn't mount
the filesystems that contain their data.
I dial in and notice that it's one of the AdVFS domains won't
mount.
It is set up in /etc/fdmns OK, the disklabel looks OK.
When I run "showfdmn blah" I get:

# showfdmn blah
showfdmn: can't show set info for domain 'blah'
showfdmn: error = E_BAD_MAGIC (-1167)

I have a sick feeling that the data is lost.
What happened?
Anyone ever recovered from one of these scenarios?

Thanks,
