Did you confirm the peers were working after adding them in as adding a
host updates the firewall.

Yes here it is.

[root at gfs1 ~]# gluster
gluster> peer status
Number of Peers: 3

Hostname: gfs2
Uuid: dce3ed1d-d38b-4eaa-81e5-12577a2f1a39
State: Peer in Cluster (Connected)

Hostname: gfs3
Uuid: 807b83f9-bff2-4cf1-a002-f1f1c5f694ad
State: Peer in Cluster (Connected)

Hostname: gfs4
Uuid: 7699d992-ee42-45c2-afca-d51dcdd9fdf6
State: Peer in Cluster (Connected)


Want to confirm you are using gluster 3.3 not 3.2.

Yes using 3.3

Installed Packages
glusterfs.x86_64                         3.3.0-5.fc17
 @fedora-glusterfs
glusterfs-fuse.x86_64                    3.3.0-5.fc17
 @fedora-glusterfs
glusterfs-geo-replication.x86_64         3.3.0-5.fc17
 @fedora-glusterfs
glusterfs-rdma.x86_64                    3.3.0-5.fc17
 @fedora-glusterfs
glusterfs-server.x86_64                  3.3.0-5.fc17

I reviewed your steps.  The only thing I can think is let us say you create
a /data directory.  When I am adding bricks should I add for instance
10.4.0.97 /data 10.4.0.98 /data 10.4.0.99 /data 10.4.0.100 /data?  Those
are the directories I have created and owned on each server 36.36 -R /data.
