If you're using cman then corosync.conf is not read. You need to add the 
token parameters to cluster.conf.

<cluster>
   <totem consensus="6000" token="3000"/>
...
</cluster>

You should also have realised by now, that your new value for token is 
also being ignored ;-)

Later versions of cman set up consensus for you automatically.
