I'm running 2.0.0rc1 and I don't have a problem with posix locks.
I dont see anything wrong with your config.

volume home1
   type storage/posix
   option directory /gluster/home
end-volume

volume posix-locks-home1
   type features/posix-locks
   option mandatory-locks on
   subvolumes home1
end-volume

I think they mean above.
the config file builds a stack.  the "top" item in the config is the 
"bottom" brick in the stack.
so the 2nd item in the config is put on TOP of the other brick.

I believe this explains the terminology.  I agree it's perhaps 
conter-intuitive, but only to non-programmers... people who know 
'stacks' get it right away.
