I am also having the exact same issue. I created a stack overflow post here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29101718/how-can-i-use-gitlab-on-one-server-and-store-all-of-the-repositories-on-another

As of right now, I haven't received an answer. Did you solve the issue? Is 
it related to permissions of some kind?
