Disk Utility Shows Extra Phantom "Twin" Drive in XServe Raid

Here is what I have:
This equipment is brand new, just unpacked in the past week.
On left side of XServe RAID
4 - 250 GB in a Raid 5 (LUN 0)
1 - 250 GB hot spare

On right side of XServe RAID
2 - 250GB in a Raid 0 (LUN 0)
2 - 250GB in a Raid 0 (LUN 2)

Using Raid Admin, the arrays appear correct: One is approximately 700GB (Raid5) and the other two are both about 460GB (Raid zero each).

However, when I go into Disk Utility on the XServeG5, it shows 3 460GB Raid 0 Drives. One of them is correct and the other two are actually both the same drive. I can format these "twins" and if I change the name on one, it will eventually change the name on the other.

Even weirder, I can actually mount the first 460GB array as well as both of the twins.

Anyone have any idea as to what is up and what the fix is?
