sudo fdisk -r /dev/mmcblk0p1
sudo reboot

This did the trick on todays problem but I would like to know if there are further fsck or dosfsck tricks to clean out a file system when I cant use another machine for whatever reason. I know I have had better results with the Ubuntu disk utility than either my laptops fsck or gparted.

You might want to edit your post to have the correct command as it is fsck.
This might explain some of the differences in the fsck success rate(note the date!)

Nokia-N900:~# fsck -v
fsck 1.41.3.maemo0 (12-Oct-2008)

versus

root@siductionbox:/home/micha# fsck -v
fsck from util-linux 2.20.1
e2fsck 1.42.5 (29-Jul-2012)
