I overlooked the client log. Here is it:
[2011-07-09 02:39:14.798565] I [afr-common.c:902:afr_fresh_lookup_cbk]

The permissions/ownerships seems okay, though:
$ ls -ld /export/wd3a/
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  512 Jul  8 09:53 /export/wd3a/
$ ls -ld /export/wd3a/
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel  512 Jul  8 09:53 /export/wd3a/

But here is a difference. According to the sources, these are used to
detect split brain:
silo# getextattr -x system trusted.afr.gfs-client-3 /export/wd3a/
/export/wd3a/   00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 00
silo# getextattr -x system trusted.afr.gfs-client-2 /export/wd3a/ 
/export/wd3a/   00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
hangar# getextattr -x system trusted.afr.gfs-client-3 /export/wd3a/
/export/wd3a/   00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
hangar# getextattr -x system trusted.afr.gfs-client-2 /export/wd3a/ 
/export/wd3a/   00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 01

I tried removing these attributes and the errors are gone, but the
problem remain: none of the file from these two bricks are seen by
readdir.
