Alastair,

'backupvolfile-server' option accepts only one hostname or FQDN.
Reading your older mail thread, I see that you are using 2 hostnames.

'backupvolfile-server' mount option is available only for backward 
compatibility purpose.
You can use - "backup-volfile-servers" option which accepts multiple 
hostnames delimited by ":"

For eg. # mount -t glusterfs -o backup-volfile-servers=host1:host2 
<server>:/<vol-name>  <mount-point>
