So I have figured my problems out the version of glusterfs on the hypervisor node was 3.2.7 (from EPEL) and I hadn't realized this. Getting it running the gluster-fuse packages for 3.4.0-8 made this all work just fine. I see that nova takes care of the mounting of the volume for you. Sorry for the trouble and thanks for the help.
