It's probably not your fault - blame /dev/hde! This sounds like a bad
error on the disk - you should really get a new one, and try to copy
/dev/hde to the new disk (with dd_rescue for example). This _might_ save
the data.

Then you can try to create the array with the new disk and hope that
it will work.
