Christian, You need to execute the cluster setup steps on the page you linked below (previous to the GNBD-specific sections). Specifically, on each node you need to run: modprobe lock_dlm, ccsd, cman_tool join, and fence_tool join after you have cman quorum. Then you should be able to gnbd_export devices.
