That was it - partially! I redid the partition on the shared array, removed the /etc/ocfs2/cluster.conf file and started over. I made sure to reboot after running fdisk and rebuilding the partition table. I ran ocfs2console, added a single cluster node then reformat and mounted the new partition successfully. I then readded the 2nd node. All is now well.
I suspect that the errors were a combination of a wrong node count and the fact that I didn't always remember to reboot after messing with the partition table (oops) .
