I had the same issue on my storage node when iet and tgt process was running at 
the same time.

For example in my cinder.conf :

iscsi_helper = etadm

So i stopped tgt service (service tgt stop) and restart iscsitarget and cinder 
services .

After that everything was ok, perhaps you should try this method.

I hope it will help you.
