A few more steps are required for using the kernel interface. One is starting the pvfs2-client, as Kyle pointed out. Another is identifying the PVFS kernel module to your Linux kernel. You can find all the required steps in the installation document, section 5.4.1 Loading the kernel module.
Hope that helps!
