Here is the situation. Electrical co-op installed and meter and a 200 amp main disconnect (bonded) at the pole and then sold me some 3 wire 4/0 aluminum that buried (in pvc conduit) 240' to my shouse. This leaves me with no ground wire connecting the 200 amp panel (now a subpanel) at the shouse to the main disconnect. Don't I need this for a ground fault circuit breaker to work properly?

Forum rules do not allow us to give electrical advice to persons not employed in the electrical industry. Beyond that, the scenario you have described needs to be handled on site by a qualified electrician as there are regional differences in how service conductors are are treated by the serving utility and a local electrical contractor would be able to give you more accurate information than someone on the internet.
