I have stumbled across the cause of the issue.

I have multiple fqdn's in my hosts files for my nodes to differentiate 
between the various network interfaces.
The nodes names in my drbd config didn't exactly match the node names 
I'd used in the cluster config.

May be obvious to some, but I've never seen it explicitly stated that 
they should match (and I've read a lot of documentation and howto's)
