Jen: It doesn't appear the DE's do know the extent of Voldemort's 
plan involving the Horcruxes, at least not the group at the 
graveyard. Here's the exact quote in GOF: "What I was, even I do not 
know...I, who have gone further than anybody along the path that 
leads to immortality. You know my goal--to conquer death. And now, I 
was tested, aand it appeared that one or more of my experiments had 
worked..." (chap. 33, p. 653, US). 

Pretty vague statement there and Voldemort doesn't say the 
DE's 'know better than anybody'. 

CathyD now:
But you've missed the other quote, a few pages before yours: "And then I ask myself, but how could they have believed I would not rise again? They, who *knew* the steps I took, long ago, to guard myself against mortal death?" (GoF pg 562 Can Ed)

Sounds to me like at least some of the DEs in that group knew what LV was talking about.  Or at the very least that he had experimented and that "one or more" of the experiments worked. (pg 566)  Dumbledore doesn't believe that the DEs knew about the horcruxes "I thought I knew what that meant, though the Death Eaters did not."  But if RAB is Regulus Black at least one of the DEs *did* know.
