Thanks Andrei -- I sincerely appreciate all of your help. I attempted to install grub with the --disk-module=native flag. Here's the output:
error: no device connected. error: no device connected. error: no device connected. error: variable 'prefix' isn't set. error: PATA passthrough failed. error: no such cryptodisk found. Entering rescue mode... grub rescue> ls (ahci5) (ahci4) (ahci3) (ahci2) (ahci1) (ahci0) (ata2) (proc) It seems that grub detects all of the disks when I use the --disk-module=native flag, but it does not seem to notice that these disks are encrypted. I've slightly modified my partition tables to simplify the process, so the output from BIS script: http://pastebin.com/raw/gVF6Fep2 Hopefully I'm missing something completely obvious.

This will use AHCI driver instead of asking BIOS.
