This is a bug we know of and are working on right now.

You're using manual fencing so I suspect the remaining nodes are waiting for
you to verify the node is dead and then run "fence_ack_manual" on the node
that's running fence_manual (look in /var/log/messages for the relevant
message on that machine.)
