Ummm, I don't see how this can be. The disks in question are in use, with a valid 'tank' pool! Originally, when I did 'zpool import', it listed two 'tank' pools, one dead and one good - I specified the good ID and the pool came back and is fine. There must be something else going on, no?

One easy way to fix this is to run fdisk on each of the disks below and blow away the fdisk partition. You'll want to ensure that they are not really being used by anything else. Another option is to 'zpool create -f <some other pool> <disks below>' and then 'zpool destroy <some other pool>'.
