as i interpret this, the disk in questions has a dos partition table...



Agreed.
Your disk has 468862128 sectors.  A GPT secondary partition table should start 33 sectors before the end of the disk: 

on a disk with a gpt partition table, yes.



Agreed.



maybe i am missing something. if so, please enlighten me!

greetings...
The OP reported error messages regarding a corrupt secondary GPT table. So, we went looking for a secondary GPT table. What we found appears to be leftovers from some previous layout.
Zeroing disks before setting them up prevents this kind of confusion (and reduces the size of compressed images).
