Incorrect block count errors after syncing podcasts

Good day all!

I'm having an ongoing problem with incorrect block count errors after syncing my podcasts to my iPod Shuffle. Specifically it seems to occur when I am removing podcasts that I have already listened to, after adding new podcasts Disk Verify never shows errors. When I remove them, I delete them from the Podcasts area of iTunes which then removes them from the Shuffle, this is when the errors present themselves. I repair the disk from a flash drive that has the Lion installer on it and the repair completes properly and the disk shows no errors until I remove podcasts again, and the errors only seem to occur with podcasts, never any other files. This has never been an issue until I upgraded to Lion. In an attempt to correct the problem I have deleted all my podcasts and podcast subcriptions and then resubscribed. I have also reintalled the Shuffle software but the problem continues to reoccur. I preformed a surface scan of the drive with TechTool Pro which is reporting no bad block errors. Perhaps I should try DiskWarrior. At any rate, I am mystified. If anyone can shed any light on this situation I would be grateful.
