Try this line in your cluster.conf file:
<logging debug="on" logfile="/var/log/rhcs.log" to_file="yes"/>

Also, if you are sure your cluster.conf is correct then copy it manually to all the nodes and add clean_start="1" to the fence_daemon line in cluster.conf and run 'service cman start' simultaneously on all the nodes (probably a good idea to do that from runlevel 1 but make sure you have the network up first)

Cheers,
