Getting ERROR: parsing the volfile failed (No such file or directory) when starting glusterd on Fedora 19

I don't get this.  I am using a freshly installed copy of Fedora 19 and starting up glusterd for the first time.  The goal is to have a replicated directory on two systems.  But for right now, I can't even start up the glusterd daemon right out of the box.

Trying to follow the Quick Start directions at http://gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/QuickStart is, well, challenging.  Those QuickStart directions are for Gluster 3.3.something and Fedora 19 seems include 3.4.beta3, so those directions are wrong.  

This is a brand new, fresh installation with no volumes yet.  Anaconda apparently installed these packages with the initial Fedora installation:

[root at chicago-fw1 ~]# rpm -qa | grep gluster
glusterfs-fuse-3.4.0-0.6.beta3.fc19.x86_64
glusterfs-3.4.0-0.6.beta3.fc19.x86_64
glusterfs-api-3.4.0-0.6.beta3.fc19.x86_64
[root at chicago-fw1 ~]#

So then I did:

yum install glusterfs-server

and it successfully installed.  Next I did:

systemctl start glusterd.service

This starts without error but then blows up a few seconds later:

[root at chicago-fw1 system]# systemctl start glusterd.service
[root at chicago-fw1 system]# tail /var/log/messages

[root at chicago-fw1 system]#

The SELinux message above is just a warning - I set SELINUX=permissive in /etc/selinux/config.  The real issue is the No such file or directory error.  

Am I dealing with a bug?  Should I be installing different versions of different packages?  That vol file exists and is part of the virgin installation - unless the beta 3 of glusterd is looking for it in a different spot than where the installation puts it.  

[root at chicago-fw1 system]# cd /etc
[root at chicago-fw1 etc]# ls | grep gluster
glusterfs
[root at chicago-fw1 etc]# ls -al glusterfs

    option transport.socket.keepalive-time 10
    option transport.socket.keepalive-interval 2
    option transport.socket.read-fail-log off
end-volume
[root at chicago-fw1 etc]#

Any idea what's going on and how to fix it?

Thanks
