I'm so happy, I could just cry. I spent an hour on the phone yesterday with Apple tech support, and we determined that the files were still on the drive, but nothing we tried could repair the disk. I then got on the Apple discussion boards for recommendations about data recovery software. Here's the one I got and it worked great. You can even download a demo to see if it will work first, so you don't have to pay out money for nothing:
It's ProSoft Engineering Data Rescue II and here's the link:

I highly recommend it if you need to recover data. It can even recover deleted files.
I accidentally formatted my digital camera once, which to my knowledge erases the directory structure without really affecting the photos themselves. I had to use similar (or maybe the same?) software to recover them -- but at least there is a solution out there!
