Hi Christophe,
I've found the problem, my entry in multipath.conf was devnode_blacklist
{ } and it should be only blacklist{}.
You may have to correct multipath.conf.synthetic provided by the tarball
( and the git version) because I've used that file to create my own and
it includes this error.
Thanks a lot for your help and work
