You need a patch :
http://xilun.nerim.net/Projet/Parted/parted-1.6.19-hfs-16.patch.gz

It can be quite difficult to apply and build it properly with
Parted 1.6.20 instead of 1.6.19, so unless you're a hacker
maybe you should try to apply it to 1.6.19, or even use
http://xilun.nerim.net/Projet/Parted/parted-1.6.19-hfs-16.tar.bz2
which is an already patched version of Parted, with also a
quick hack that greatly increase HFS resize speed on some
computers.

I definitly recommand you to use
http://xilun.nerim.net/Projet/Parted/parted-1.6.19-hfs-16.tar.bz2
(and to save your data, of course :)
>From what I see in changelog, 1.6.20 doesn't seems to involve
significant changes for apple systems.
