My guess is that you have a slash in the device name in the ring. This 
won't work. The Swift account server (and container and object servers) 
expects requested paths to be of the form /$device/$partition/$account; 
when you put a slash in there, the account server sees 4 path components 
and rejects the request with a 400.

I'd recommend changing your device names in the ring and your mount 
points. If you were to set your device name to "c0d2p1" instead of 
"cciss/c0d2p1" and then mount it at /srv/node/c0d2p1, things would 
probably start working.

There's no need to keep the device name in the mount point, either. You 
could mount /dev/cciss/c0d2p1 at /srv/node/Fred if you wanted, and as 
long as the device was named Fred in the ring, Swift would be happy.

Letting people know this is not a good idea. I hope that this is either 
a fake value or that this cluster is not publicly accessible.

(I say this not to scold you, but to warn other readers of the list: 
don't share swift_hash_path_prefix or swift_hash_path_suffix!)
