Having hunted around on this mailing list I see that this is a pretty
common problem. I was able to get my reshape going by issuing:
mdadm --grow --continue --backup-file=/root/md1-grow.bak /dev/md1
So we're now off and running!
[root@sulphur ~]# cat /proc/mdstat
Personalities : [raid6] [raid5] [raid4]
md1 : active raid5 sdf1[5] sde1[4] sdb1[0] sdd1[2] sdc1[1]
