Ian,

It would also help if you posted the details of your setup using:

cat /proc/partitions
cat /proc/mdstat

mdadm -D /dev/md#
 - for each of the devices above.

mdadm -E /dev/sd<drive><#>
 - for each disk or partition in the array from above.



But the suggestions to ddrescue the going bad drive onto a new disk is
a good one.  On my debian system, I would do the following:

  sudo apt-get install gddrescue
  ddrescue /dev/sde /dev/sdf /var/tmp/ddrecue-sde.log

and see how that goes.  

Good luck,
John
