[Gluster-users] newb install/configure problem

Greetings,

I was looking into gluster as a potential replacement for the current 
inotify/rsync solution I currently have in place for replicating files.  
I followed the client/server config instructions on the gluster.com site 
using the glusterfs-volgen instructions.  The configuration is two 
servers in a mirrored setup.  Here was the command used: 
/usr/bin/glusterfs-volgen --raid 1 --cache-size 512MB --export-directory 
/sites --name sites1 172.16.0.1 172.16.0.2

I was trying to setup both servers as gluster servers and clients.  
/etc/init.d/gulsterfsd start works fine with no errors.  When I try to 
mount via this command: mount -t glusterfs 172.16.0.2 /sites  I get this 
error (email continued below):

I tried searching (via Google) for things like "Initialization of volume 
'fuse' failed, review your volfile again", but came up short.  Do any 
obvious problems jump out?  Any help is greatly appreciated and if any 
information is required in order for you to help - I can certainly dig 
it up.  Here is the system (uname -a):  Linux  2.6.18-92.1.13.el5 #1 SMP
