That helps a bit. The pronoun references are killing me though. The "It"
in "It is the secondary..." could mean several things.

There is still something else happening because disk2 is the on the
primary slave in your df output above. It is going to be hard to move
disk5 to primary slave when disk2 occupies that spot already.

No matter how you move the discs around this should help you.

wd0 is the primary master.
wd1 is the primary slave.
wd2 is the secondary master.
wd3 is the secondary slave.

If the current drive wd3 (mounted on /disk5) is going to move to the
secondary master wd2 (mounted on /disk4) then the df output for that drive
will look like...

/dev/wd2s1e   3795566  1184598  2307323 34% /disk4 <+++ name & dev change

Where the current wd2s1e (mounted as disk2) is going to move to will
follow the same rules.

Make sure you set your jumpers correctly when you move the drives.
