"lvmvg1PV_EXPPV_EXPPV_EXP" looks very strange.
The suffix PV_EXP should only be there once.

Which LVM versions of the tools and driver did you use?
Do you remmeber the steps which lead to this situation?

Please send a bzipped tasball which contains the output files retrieved with

for d in /dev/hd[e-g]1 /dev/hdk
do
	dd if=$d of=`basename $d`.vgda bs=1k count=4k
done

to me directly <mge@sistina.com> to fix this.
