Hi Patrick,
If  gluster-data is pingable from the other bricks, you could try 
detaching and retttaching it from gluster-0-0 or 0-1.
1) On gluster-0-0:
     `gluster peer detach gluster-data`, if that fails, `gluster peer 
detach gluster-data force`
2) On gluster-data:
     `rm -rf /var/lib/glusterd`
     `service glusterd restart`
3) Again on gluster-0-0:
     'gluster peer probe gluster-data'

Now check if things work.
PS:You should really do a 'reply-to-all' so that your queries reach a 
wider audience, getting you  faster responses from the community. Also 
serves as a double-check in case I goof up :)

I'm off to sleep now.
