Grid Infrastructure, RAC and a failed dbca

I have been attempting the installation of the following oracle software stack on OL6.2 with the most current set of patches (I believe). This is a learning exercise for me to work through the details of ACFS. I have successfully configured an installation without ACFS.
Grid Infrastructure (10.2.0.3) with the p13696251_112030_Linux-x86-64.zip patch applied. I think everything is good here.
- Installation Option is Install and Configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster
- I have created an ACFS for use as an oracle home and it mounts (mount point: /u02/acfsmounts/dbhome_1) on all nodes without any apparent difficulty
RAC (Enterprise option / software only) in the acfs home with the p13696216_112030_Linux-x86-64.zip patch applied. I believe that this also is okay.
- I have an ASM managed Data disk
- I have an ASM managed FRA disk
Create the database
- dbca fails with the following set of error messages:
PRCR-1006 : Failed to add resource ora.rhnsat.db for rhnsat
RPCD-1094 : Failed to create start dependency for database rhnsat on the ASM cluster filesystem where ACFS path /u02/acfsmounts/dbhome_1 resides
PRCA-1045 : ACFS is not supported on this platform
While I am perfectly willing to accept that this configuration is indeed not supported, the impression that I get from the documentation leads me to believe that this should work. Additionally, there is evidence that this configuration worked on RHEL5.x and OL 5.x (http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/enterprise-solutions/w/oracle_solutions/1425.4-1-1-2-0-how-do-i-install-oracle-rac-11g-r2.aspx#install_grid).
Is someone able to give me some ideas?
