Weird...if the device isn't working for some reason, it shouldn't format
properly.  One thing to try would be reading and writing to the device
"raw", ie something like:

  dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=/dev/null bs=512 count=256
  dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb1 bs=512 count=256

If those work, your RAID and kernel module are almost certainly working
properly.

Maybe...it wouldn't be the first odd issues with a busybox version of a
command.  Can you test with a statically compiled version of the full
mount command?
