Can you enable the self-heal daemon  and try again ?  `gluster volume 
heal <volname>` requires the shd to be enabled. The error message that 
you get is inappropriate and is being fixed.

Is the file size for 99705_544c0cd369a84ebcaf095b4a9f6d682a.mp4 non-zero 
on the 2 data bricks (i.e. on 10.10.27.11 and 10.10.27.10) and do they 
match?
Do the md5sums match with what you got on the mount when you calculate 
it directly on these bricks?

Thanks,
Ravi
