did the reluctor on the new driveshaft have the right number of teeth? How are the others?

Don't put too much faith in Eurocarparts. I ordered a set of driveshafts from them a few weeks ago & got 2 driver side shafts. Drove up to Basingstoke to change one for a passenger side shaft & out came a box with the correct part number on it, but still had a driver's side shaft.

Sensor=pick up. Apparently the reluctors (toothed wheels) can break up on the rear hubs. You could possibly test back from the ecu but I'm probably not going to be sure on the pin out. Best off having the wheel and disk off and giving it a visual first as I'd hope it would tell you if it was short/open circuit.
