An update to my own posting....I found an update that is available for the adaptec agent for DSS v5 build 3518 in the following post:

http://forum.open-e.com/showthread.p...=adaptec+agent

I applied that to USB key I preloaded with the trial version of DSS v6 build 3518, applied the adaptec agent update, rebooted, and ASM now sees the drives properly. I'll now try upgrading my production DOM running 3278 to 3518 and apply the adaptec agent update....Fingers crossed!
