Appears you formatted the devices before you partitioned them. As the ocfs2 superblock is in the third block, it is not overwritten during partition. This version of mounted.ocfs2 does not handle this situation.
Easiest fix is hand editing the signature using a binary editor. $ bvi -s 10240 /dev/sda Change the ocfs2 signature (OCFSV2) to something else. Changing one character is enough.
