It's normal for the volserver's first couple of connection attempts
to fail, since the fileserver doesn't begin accepting fssync connections
immediately.  It already sleeps between attempts, but it should be logging
the failures.

The lsof output you quoted would appear to indicate that a previous 
connection attempt by the volserver failed, and while the fileserver has 
started listening, the volserver hasn't retried yet.  I would suggest 
attaching truss to your volserver to see what is really going on.
