Matt had the answer for this error.

 Once you've done what he suggested, You should install the kernel
from centosplus as it has XFS support built in. No need for you to
build anything. You can do this with "yum --enablerepo centosplus
install kernel"

Also, getting the kernel-source package provides you with the kernel
source in /usr/src/linux-VERSION like you'd expect, but doesn't really
give you the proper way to rebuild a kernel for an rpm based
distribution. If you build/install your own custom kernel outside the
package manager you can cause problems with updates down the road for
things that depend on the kernel. RPM is not aware of things you don't
tell it about. To properly rebuild a kernel for an rpm based system, a
decent how-to is available at
http://crab-lab.zool.ohiou.edu/kevin/kernel-compilation-tutorial-en/


Last thing. Since it seems you haven't installed the gpg key at this
point, make sure you do a "yum update" after you import the GPG key.
This will bring your system up to date with the latest packages to
help avoid any potential security risks etc.
