It appears MFSTools only supports a partition size of 274gb. With 300gb, 400gb and larger drives out now this really needs to be addressed. If anyone has a quick fix to do a single drive 400gb upgrade using the full capacity I'd like to hear it.

I got it to work using the following:
X being the old "A" drive and Y being the new "A" drive.
mfsbackup -Tao - /dev/hdX | mfsrestore -s 127 -zpi - /dev/hdY
then
mfsadd /dev/hdY -x -r 4
With 2 new drives:
X being the old "A" drive, Y being the new "A" drive and Z being the new "B" dirve.
mfsadd -X /dev/hdY -X /dev/hdZ -r 4
