This is truly screwey. The pvscan shows sdb2 as part of VolGroup00, lvdisplay shows the partition as in use, but vgreduce says sdb2 isn't part of the VG. Hoo, boy.
Frank, this is potentially dangerous, but you can try
# pvremove /dev/sdb2
to wipe out sdb2's PV status. Since you seem to be running on /dev/sda and vgreduce claims that /dev/sdb2 isn't part of the active VG, you should be able to do this without blowing things up.
Damn this makes me nervous!
Time to dust out that vodoo doll :-)
