Something looks very wrong here. You listed the devices to --create in one order: a b c d but that appear in the array in a different order b c a d Did you cut/paste the command line into the mail, or did you retype it? If you retyped it, could you have got it wrong? You need the order that --detail shows to match the order of the original array....
