Have you updated the known_stores config option in glance-api.conf?

The out-of-the-box setting is:

# List of which store classes and store class locations are
# currently known to glance at startup.
known_stores = glance.store.filesystem.Store,
               glance.store.http.Store,
               glance.store.rbd.Store,
               glance.store.s3.Store,
               glance.store.swift.Store,

This toption is crucial for glance to be able to map from a store scheme to the glue-code responsible for interacting with that store.
