I just tried this on my RHEL5.5 box and I couldn't reproduce this issue.
I think you are trying to hand create the iface files instead of letting
iscsiadm create the iface file for you and probably the discover db is corrupted
I think it would be a good idea to delete the discovered node and the iface
files and create the configuration as follows -
#iscsiadm -m node -o delete
#iscsiadm -m iface -I iface.eth1 -o delete
#iscsiadm -m iface -I iface.eth0 -o delete
/* Also check if the iface files still exist. If yes, then you may have to
force delete the files.
#iscsiadm -m create -I iface -I iface.eth0 -o new
#iscsiadm -m create -I iface -I iface.eth0 -o update -n iface.hwadress -v
<mac_address>
#iscsiadm -m create -I iface -I iface.eth1 -o new
#iscsiadm -m create -I iface -I iface.eth1 -o update -n iface.hwadress -v
<mac_address>
#iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p <ip> -I iface.eth0
#iscsiadm -m discovery -t st -p <ip> -I iface.eth0 -o new
This should work hopefully for you.

Subject: iSCSI - Could not match
iface[hw=00:0C:29:44:44:21,ip=,net_if=,iscsi_if=iface.eth1] to host.
Hi,
I am running into an issue when trying to configure multipath connections to a
iSCSI target in CentOS 5.5.
When I configure my interface files in /var/lib/iscsi/ifaces/ and try to do a
discovery I am not getting multiple connections. Trying to do discovery using a
specific interface results in iscsiadm giving the error: "Could not match
iface[hw=00:0C:29:44:44:17,ip=,net_if=,iscsi_if=iface.eth2] to host."
Anyone seen this before and know the solution?
Thanks!
Some info on my configuration:
[r...@localhost ifaces]# iscsiadm -m discovery --type sendtargets --portal
10.100.100.5:3260 -d2 -I iface.eth1
iscsiadm: Max file limits 1024 1024
iscsiadm: Could not match
iface[hw=00:0C:29:44:44:21,ip=,net_if=,iscsi_if=iface.eth1] to host.
iscsiadm: iface iface.eth1 is not valid. Will not bind node to it. Iface
settings [hw=00:0C:29:44:44:21,ip=,net_if=,iscsi_if=iface.eth1]
