According to Microsoft, describing a similar situation:

"Just ignore these errors, there is no problem with the file system.

If you have 4 million plus files or a Master File Table greater than 4GB then there is a known problem with security descriptors and a hotfix is available for Server 2003, for Windows XP the latest Service Pack supposedly fixes this.  See here:

The CHKDSK utility incorrectly identifies and deletes in-use security descriptors

What you see is more likely the very same benign thing that Windows 2000 can also experience with chkdsk, it can be safely ignored.  See here:

Windows 2000 Chkdsk Reports Cleaning Unused Security Descriptors"...and so on.

So no problem no worries. :-)

Hi Jim,
No, I just found this a bit troubling:
Cleaning up 439 unused index entries from index $SII of file 0x9.
Cleaning up 439 unused index entries from index $SDH of file 0x9.
Cleaning up 439 unused security descriptors.

Hi John:

Is this a trick question. ;-)

The following list seems to indicate a drive that is very clean...no major
failures or indications that some process has left orphaned blocks or
corrupted indexes. About 300GB and only one partition.
