xsan and mds problem

I have 2 Lion MDCs and 5 Snow clients. The below log entries are coming from the clients.

Are you able to search from the clients? If not, what procedure did you follow to create the initial index on the MDC? Reference here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1134 and make sure that you allow the volume to FULLY index on the MDC before attempting to mount the volume on MDBs or clients. If you do not, the other volumes may attempt to claim control of indexing and you end up with a mess.
