Disk First Aid reports "Keys Out of Order"

I received the error "Keys Out of Order" last night while running Disk First Aid. AppleCare provides the following steps for a solution. I'm down to step number 3. Has anyone had experience with this? If so, how did you resolve and what (if any) third-party app did you use? Thanks in advance.

1. Back up important data from the disk if possible.

2. Start up from CD and use the Repair option of Disk First Aid to try to repair the volume. If Disk First Aid continues to report an issue with the volume, try running Disk First Aid a second or third time to ensure that the disk cannot be repaired by Disk First Aid.

3. If Disk First Aid is not able to repair the disk, consider using a third-party disk utility to try to repair the disk.

4. If Disk First Aid is not able to repair the disk and a third-party utility is either unavailable or unable to repair the disk, back up important data from the disk if possible, and reformat the disk using Drive Setup.

Trying acquiring and running a version of Tech Tools on your drive. I am NOT familiar with the particular "keys out of order" error you are receiving but I find Tech Tools to be a very handy and comprehensive utility for troubleshooting drive issues.
