Error is often an indication of mis-matched Lustre modules and kernel version, so the modules are installed, but not where Linux can find them. (ie, kernel modules are in /lib/modules/`uname -r`, but lustre modules are in /lib/modules/<something_else>)
I note that you installed the server kernel modules, so you need kernel 2.6.9_67.0.7.EL_lustre for them to work. See my original note below on patchless clients: use lustre-client-modules RPM, with the version matching the installed kernel. With the server module RPMs, you need the lustre kernel as well.
