Hmm.. well I am using the RHEL52 branch versus your STABLE2 branch, but
looking at the qdisk git history for both I don't see any massive
differences.

In my logs from a CentOS 5.2 server (with the patch I mentioned applied)
I get on startup with a single node:

ccsd[6551]: Cluster is not quorate.  Refusing connection.
ccsd[6551]: Error while processing connect: Connection refused
qdiskd[6606]: <info> Initial score 1/1
qdiskd[6606]: <info> Initialization complete
openais[6565]: [CMAN ] quorum device registered
qdiskd[6606]: <notice> Score sufficient for master operation (1/1;
required=1); upgrading
qdiskd[6606]: <info> Assuming master role
ccsd[6551]: Cluster is not quorate.  Refusing connection.
ccsd[6551]: Error while processing connect: Connection refused
ccsd[6551]: Cluster is not quorate.  Refusing connection.
ccsd[6551]: Error while processing connect: Connection refused
openais[6565]: [CMAN ] quorum regained, resuming activity

Looking at your original log messages are you certain ccsd is being
started prior to qdiskd?
