Indeed, neither Sarumann or Gandalf knew ,when they arrived at middle earth, where the ring was, or what had happen to it. However, i thought the Valas knew quite well what happened in middle earth. The wizards where Maias, and should have some kind of job over there... beeing the servant of the valas. Its a strange tale that they wherent told what had become of the ring! Its just like whit that restriction thing (they wherent to match saurons power with power): they didnt get any easy job.
