One other thing... it would be a good experiment to set up a CentOS 5 box with the OpenVZ RHEL5-based kernel... and migrate one of your containers to it... and see if it will shutdown properly there.   Another good test would be to setup a machine using the same kernel you are currently using but without the RAID hardware and see if you still have the same problem with container shutdown.  If so that would indicate that the problem is related to the RAID... although I'm guessing it is unrelated to the RAID but who knows. 

TYL,
