Did you do an mdadm --stop before trying the force assemble? That
implies to me you've got the remnants of a previous attempt lying around...

Not sure which command it is - "cat /proc/mdstat" maybe, but make sure
ALL your arrays are stopped (unless you know they are running okay)
before you try stuff.
