Just to follow this up, I got in contact with Areca support, who sent me
their new v1.00.00.02 (2012-03-23) arcsas driver and CLI tool, which is now
available on their website:

The API download has also been updated (dated 2012-03-14) to include
separate SAS HBA support, and stuff built against it works correctly for me.

As a result I now have management visibility (and ability to toggle drive
identification) via the ARC-1320 cards.
