Bug: service gluster status returns fail message but gluster seems to
function normally despite this.  Can peer probe, create bricks, create
volume, and confirm file distribution over cluster.  Following example uses
single brick volume as demonstration.

Situation:
-fresh Fedora 19 VM
-Gluster Version: glusterfs-fuse-3.4.1-1.fc19.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create new Fedora 19 VM
2. yum install:
    glusterfs
    glusterfs-server
    glusterfs-fuse
3. start glusterd service
4. check glusterd service status  --Reports failed
5. create and start a gluster volume
6. check gluster service status   --Reports failed




# yum install glusterfs glusterfs-server glusterfs-fuse
# service glusterd start
