Here's the actual examine of the target machine (I'm using a different one so disk designation is different as the target machine has only V2.6.3 available):

@Phil: do you think there's a chance with my crude way or is there a better one?
Cheers

Ok. Stop here. This report shows /dev/sda3 where the metadata thought
it was /dev/sdd3. So your device names have been changing.
Please redo the --examine operation on all of the /dev/sdX3 partitions
and report again.
Also report an excerpt of "ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/" that shows the device
name vs. serial number for all of the drives involved.
Also report kernel and mdadm versions. The report format is an older style.
Phil
