Partition 5 is formatted with ext3. parted isn't liking this but i think that's because it's having trouble resizing the ext3 filesystem, rather than because it can't resize the partition itself.

Is the filesystem mounted at the time?  Maybe it can't be live-resized?

No, the file system was definitely not mounted at the time. I was able to do this using fdisk as Alain suggested earlier. Thanks for offering your advice though!
