I stated that I dont know the strength of the hadeeth, but this info may be usefull to the poster

You should make that statement of yours in bold and red letters.

If you know the strength of the hadeeth, please let us know, i am currious.

Why should I know? You're the one who brought this as an argument.

...but this was qouted from Imam tabari (RA) was he "deluded"?

No, he wasn't deluded. Note that Imam Tabari said in the beginning of his "Tarikh" work that not all reports he is going to cite may be authentic. Tabari's job was to copy the hadiths he knew by his heart. Our job (i.e. hadith scholars' job) is to find out which are authentic, which are weak, which are fabricated, etc. Maybe Imam Tabari did not know these hadiths were weak or fabricated, etc.

UPDATE: And even if Tabari believed in these mountains, there is no problem with it, because he may have thought these narrations are authentic, and also because at those times it was difficult to prove that the earth was round. But now in these modern times if any sheikh or a student of knowledge believes in these things then they are being extreme in their beliefs.
