Did you run mke4fs on the device to layout an ext4 filesystem on it? There is no filesystem on a device until you do this. The entry in fstab tells it to mount the filesystem but if this hasn't been done yet there is no filesystem to mount.
I did not use the command line to do this. I used the Disk Utility to setup the RAID set. The RAID does mount with the Disk Utility and I can access the file system locally and remotely. If you are telling me that I need to run this utility even though I used the Disk Utility to create and format the RAID set I will.
There is a warning that the partition is misaligned. It still mounts and I am not see performance issues. Any more ideas.

Reason: spelling issues
OK I ran all the command line utilities to create a software RAID. Remember this is Fedora 15. The RAID will mount and work but will not load during a reboot. In fact I put the line in the fstab file and used mount -a to mount the RAID twice before I rebooted the computer.
These are three SATA disks of the same size 160GB. They had been formatted with Fedora 16 as a RAID and I reinstalled Fedora 15. Fedora 16 is too buggy. Hope you are not one of the Fedora 16 experts and get offended. I broke down the RAID and started for scratch. I can try again. Maybe I need to delete all the device files, but will I get them all.
This really has me stumped. UNIX admin for 5 years and then IT manager. I know my brain was destroyed while I was a manager.
