MFT corruption issue and permissions

I started to receive error 55 messages on my data partition for my SBS SP1
box recently. My users started to experience error messages that they did
not have permission to access folders or files. Chkdsk /r and /f did not
fix the problem. I discovered that they had approx 100 files that were over
the 255 character name limit. I am running a bulk copy of the files via
XXCOPY which is able to copy all of the files including the ones that
Windows can't access. I believe that the MFT is corrupted so after the bulk
copy I will format the partition and move the data back.
One of my colleagues discovered that the partition only had root permissions
for Everyone.
I have compared it to my other servers built in the same way and they show
Administrator, Creator Owner, Everyone, System and Users.
My big question is this: I have 2 partitions on the same array. The 2nd
partition that has Exchange on it has the same permission issue of only
everyone in the root. My gut tells me that I have a bigger issue than just
the data partition since both partitions on the same array are showing the
same reduced permissions. What should I look for after I get the data
partition back and running?
TIA
John
