I concur that this is most likely unrelated. Unfortunately, after much fiddling around I was forced to abandon my array. None of the above commands worked to add a spare or to rebuild. Fortunately, this is only on a test box anyway. When I rebuild it for production use, I will have to carefully weigh my options between dmraid and mdadm.
Hi Giuseppe,
I concur that this is most likely unrelated. Unfortunately, after much fiddling around I was forced to abandon my array. None of the above commands worked to add a spare or to rebuild.

Thanks for all your work.
