Did you run the 'atacontrol create' command from the *5.3* live-filesystem cd?  
There were some ataraid enhancements back in June 2004, that broke my sii680 
arrays. So, if you create your array on the sii680 with an older ataraid 
version, it's possible that the actual ataraid version is unable to dedect 
them.

I tried 5.3-BETA7-i386-miniinst.iso as of yesterday and it was able to 
identify the array on the sii680. (What I did, was deleting the ata-raid 
magic-blocks and gave gmirror a try).

Cheers,
