Just to close the loop on this, and to make sure someone else doesn't have the 
same problem, this turned out to be a case of cockpit error.
   
  I had mis-read the documentation concerning 
mapred.task.tracker.report.bindAddress and had set it to point to the master 
node.  I should have left this set to 127.0.0.1 and instead tweaked 
mapred.job.tracker and pointed that to the master node.  When I realized the 
error of my ways I changed it and everything came up on the first try.  
   
  I could nit about the documentation needing to be a bit more clear, but I'm 
writing this off as mostly a case of error due to sleep deprivation.
   
  Thanks,
  C G

That tells me you need to check who is running on that port...
