Ok I got a third drive to receive files. I was getting everything hooked up and 
ready and I ran into a problem. Apparently the clone wasn't completely 
successful? 

parted: //on cloned drive
Error: Invalid argument during seek for read on /dev/sdc
Retry/Ignore/Cancel? I                                                    
Error: The backup GPT table is corrupt, but the primary appears OK, so that 
will be used.
OK/Cancel? OK

Your procedure for dumping and testing the luks header doesn't work on this

I made a screen dump when ddrescue finished. It is attached. What should I do 
next?
