Something else is going on that you haven't explained.  You mentioned an 
error message:
 	Data file Resurrect/.mix01245185 UID ran backwards (286e < 29a7)

How did you get a data file named .mix01245185?  Presumably, you didn't 
take a time machine back to August 10, 1970 at 17:29:41 UTC. ;-)

Did you do something to restore the files under different names?

If you did, are you aware that mix data files must have precisely 8 hex 
digits in their name?  mixrbld would probably get confused by a data file 
named .mix322 and pass on that confusion in the rebuilt index to the mix 
driver.

Without seeing the mailbox, I have difficulty in advising you since I 
don't quite understand what is wrong with it (much less how it got that 
way).

Can you explain what happened to this mailbox, and what steps that you 
took?
