seems that I had exactly the same problem when setting up multimaster-repl. By 
trial and error I solved it by only defining one serverID on each host:

# master1
serverID 1

# master2
serverID 2

With this setting multimaster-repl seems to work correctly.

As I don't understand exactly how this statement affects 
multimaster-replication my question is, whether it is ok to do so or do I 
*need* to define all serverID as

serverID NUM URL

on all participating master.

Thanks,
