My preferred method for forcing an fsck at boot is documented here:
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-force-fsck-on-the-next-reboot-or-boot-sequence/

What it essentially amounts to is: 'sudo touch /forcefsck'

That being said, I don't know that this will work because your system
is indicating that it will check at next boot on its own and it
doesn't.
