This reminds me of a bug that was fixed in a more recent version of Lustre. I think the problem is that the "client" name is the same for both MDS instances and lconf was incorrectly writing all client configs to each OST. This means that the "client" config from the second filesystem is overwriting the "client" config from the first filesystem. I don't recall the exact fix, but the workaround is to name your clients differently in the two filesystems. That way, even though they are both written to each filesystem the right one is used when mounting (assuming you change your mount command to use e.g. "/home-mds/client-home".
