 I believe the cause of your issue is that the disks where
 marked as "foreign".
 
 This doesn't mean they are bad but the controller won't let
 you import, add etc as it thinks they are already a part of
 another array, so its just being safe.
 
 I've just finished off some updates to mfiutil which will
 both detect this and allow you to "fix" them.
