If you still intend to use this binary, I can help you fixing this.
But see below.

This is most likely because your ext2 file system has extended
attributes enabled, which is a feature GNU Parted does not support
yet.  The binary I sent you does not offer this functionality either.

What you can do is resize the partition (using fdisk, cfdisk or sfdisk)
and then run resize2fs on it.  This should work. 

Kind regards,

Leslie
