When I first saw the error, I wasn't so sure :-)  but yes, /video not 
only existed, but had previously been used as the mount point for a 
RAID1 array with an XFS file system. I included in my original posting 
the output from ls for both /video and a secondary mount point, /mnt, 
that I tried.

I haven't tried that yet...lets see...(after a few hour pause while
checking for bad blocks):

This filesystem will be automatically checked every 30 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first.  Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.

# mount /dev/video_vg/video_lv /mnt

Looks like that worked. Just not the type of file system I want. I guess 
I'll have to see if I can downgrade my XFS tools to a version that works.
