No wonder it does not work. AFAIK there are plans to allow rw access on both nodes in later versions of DRBD (not in the 0.6 series), but you would clearly need to use something on top of it that can live with such a setup (like GFS in the case of filesystems). A "normal" filesystem won't work anyway (due to locking, or rather non-locking, issues). Even if initial tests might show it does it WILL definitly fail.
