I would go for a full database export to /dev/null. This will physical verify all the user data, and most of the data dictionary.

It is possible that
a) your count(*) from some bizarre reason

     is using your damaged temp tablespace     (I suggest dropping it and recreating it     at some point)

b) Your count(*) is using an index - in which

    case you may have sound data, but a corrupt     index which you can drop and rebuild. Check     the execution plan for the count(*).
