I just thought I'd let everyone know that the problem has been solved by 
reversing the old and new raidtab files in the command line to raidreconf

The old 4-disk array is currently running with the filesystem intact.  I'll 
go about backing it up now :)

I just attempted to add a 5th 80GB disk to my RAID-5 array using 
raidreconf. I previously added a 4th disk 6 months ago using the identical 
tools with no errors or hiccups whatsoever.  Back then, I made a full 
backup because of all the warnings.  This time, I assumed it would work 
since it did last time, and did not backup the data.  You can see where 
this is going...

Here's some of the relevant info:
   

Jonathan, did you also have the patch available for raidreconf?  Please 
attach it to your reply to the raid list, I think it would be a good 
thing to have in the archive.
