I was actually able to restore my lvm drive.  The first thing I did was pull
the backup from the weekend and tar up the /dev/diskvg and /etc/lvm* files. 
After moving them over to my server and unpacking them, I was able to run
vgscan -f -v.  That brought everything back into sync again so that I could
vgchange -ay diskvg and mount.  Thank goodness that I had a system level backup
over the weekend.

        Money isn't everything, but at least it keeps the kids in touch.
