MongoDB sharding problems - mongodb

Question

Our mongodb server deployed with 2 shards, each has 1 master server and 2 slave servers.
The four slave servers run mongo config as proxy, and two of the slave servers run arbiters.
But the mongodb coundn't be used now.
I can connect to 192.168.0.1:8000(mongos) and exec queries like 'use database' or 'show dbs', but i cann't exec queries in a choosed database such as 'db.foo.count()', 'db.foo.findOne()'
Here is the error log:
mongos> db.dev.count()
Fri Aug 16 12:55:36 uncaught exception: count failed: {
"assertion" : "DBClientBase::findN: transport error: 10.81.4.72:7100 query: { setShardVersion: \"\", init: true, configdb: \"10.81.4.72:7300,10.42.50.26:7300,10.81.51.235:7300\", serverID: ObjectId('520db0a51fa00999772612b9'), authoritative: true }",
"assertionCode" : 10276,
"errmsg" : "db assertion failure",
"ok" : 0
}

i can only start on mongos, queries wouldn't be exec if more than 1 mongos run at the same time, error log:
mongos> db.dev.count() Fri Aug 16 15:12:29 uncaught exception: count failed: { "assertion" : "DBClientBase::findN: transport error: 10.81.4.72:7100 query: { setShardVersion: \"\", init: true, configdb: \"10.81.4.72:7300,10.42.50.26:7300,10.81.51.235:7300\", serverID: ObjectId('520dd04967557902f73a9fba'), authoritative: true }", "assertionCode" : 10276, "errmsg" : "db assertion failure", "ok" : 0 }

Could you please clarify if your set-up was working before, if you are just setting it up now?
