That seems to be normal, when there is write activity:
% touch a ; gmirror list | grep DIRTY
   Flags: DIRTY
   Flags: DIRTY
   Flags: DIRTY
   Flags: DIRTY
% sleep 5
% gmirror list | grep DIRTY
%

I dont know, what could cause the strange behaviour...

Maybe u should try to increase the stripe size and the slice size to 128KB or
so?
