Right, except that gnunetd is looking for /etc/gnunetd.conf 
or /home/gnunet/.gnunet/gnunetd.conf -- notice the "d".  I would suggest to 
rm /etc/gnunet.conf and just run 

$ gnunet-setup -d 

as the user that will later run gnunetd (say gnunet).  And maybe you might 
want to have a second look at the README. ;-)
