okay, I did the same thing...
copied my-medium.cnf to /usr/local/mysql/var/my.cnf
put Ndb.cfg in /usr/local/mysql/var
create the environment variables as specified.
ran mysqld as user mysql
and when I do an ALL STATUS, I still don't have any API nodes listed at all. I noticed
that the my-medium.cnf file did NOT have an ndbcluster line anywhere...did you add this?
