2650 hot swap question

I have 5 33 gig disks doing raid level 5 with a hot swap.

The hot swap was on 0:04 the disk that went bad was on 0:03. I'm assuming
the 0:04 took over as a member of the raid 5 container.
I changed the bad disk on 0:03 and the status light is green.
When I rebooted to check the container, the status is still ok and on the
container I see 0:00, 0:01, 0:02 and 0:04, which I expected.
However I am unable to set new disk on 0:03 has the new hot spare. 

What am I doing wrong, does the new disk automatically become the hot spare
? control + s gives me a messages that I don't have an additional disk to
uses as a hot spare.
I do see the disk under disk utilities and the status light on it is green.

TIA, p
