Wow... So I finally got ahold of tech support, and Rene with tech support got the issue sorted out.
They actually discovered another issue with the unit.. here's the full info:
"There was some disputes on the superblock of /dev/sda so we adjusted it to sync with the other working drives. However /dev/sdb has not synced fully so I suggested to remove it from the array. Try to format /dev/sdb and hotplug it to the unit to sync again properly. Once you sync the new formatted drive, the array will be complete again and should not be degraded anymore."
Holy. Cow. My weekend is saved.
Now, then... to start this backup, before I issue a resync. :)
Found the 'chat' option... got in touch with a 'Yvan'... who said he didn't handle that, so he xferred me to another department.. and then I was disconnected.

Now to find an actual phone number.

Thx for the update (and I'm glad to hear that everything was sorted out).
Any idea on the details of what Rene did to adjust /dev/sda?
