I'm trying dd_rhelp right now. Would be nice to recover some of the
stuff if I can. 

Assuming dd_rhelp is able to do it's thing (it appears to be doing
something!), how do I bring up the array? Should I switch hdb and hdd in
the cabling or just try and force the array to load using hdc and hdd?

Thanks for all your help!
