It looks like you were having some clock problems. Look at the
dumpe2fs information:
Last mount time: Thu Sep 8 19:35:39 2005
Last checked: Thu Sep 8 18:03:41 2005
One of the things which resize2fs checks is that the last checked time
is more recent than the last mount time. Looks like your system clock
was running fast by at least half an hour (possibly a full hour or
more) when the filesystem was last mounted.

Actually, I don't think it has anything to do with the
/dev/mapper-paths (resize2fs doesn't care about paths, as long as it
leads to the correct device), but rather that 30 minutes had gone by,
and time on your system had progressed beyond the last mount time.
