Restart your Mac, power cycle your drives, and try again.

As usual, you responded virtually immediately, and your response was the solution.

1. How do you do it?

2. What was the problem (and what about the log indicated the problem)?

1. Experience, mostly.

2. The 5632 error code is something I've seen from the system that basically says "restart, something internal is messed up"...

Strictly out of curiosity: Any guess as to what would be included in the "Internal Things That Are Messed Up" list?

Not really: I didn't write OSX itself and can't really debug it as such.
