any idea why it wont assemble? I thought even if data was corrupt I
should be able to force it to assemble and look at it to determine if
it is corrupt or in tact

A bug in mdadm was introduced shortly after the "missing" support was
added.  Looks like you need 3.2.6.

Probably unrelated, but in case you were unaware, ICHxR chipsets
have snared me in the past with bugs that were later corrected
by firmware updates from Intel. If I remember correctly from
upthread, you were at one point attempting to / running this
array with such hardware. If this is still an option, you might
check your firmware version and the release notes for any more
recent release. This won't fix software RAID but it could
conceivably coax the ICH10R into assembling the array.
