No drive information?  Is that really like that, or did something go
wrong on the copy?

This looks fine.

Not for the commands you said you issued:

>>> vinum drives.

You can't.  Vinum uses drives only for allocating subdisks, nothing
else.

> I can't seem to find the vinum_history file in /var/tmp/

Oops, sorry, it's in /var/run/vinum_history now.  I've updated the
documentation.

OK, now I don't understand what your problem is.  The output above
shows that all is OK.  Can you newfs the volumes?  Mount them?  If
not, what happens?
