Positive. Like I said before, netstat -a | grep 8020 gives me nothing.
Even if the firewall was the problem, that should still give me output
that the port is listening, but I'd just be unable to hit it from an
outside box (I tested this by blocking port 50070, at which point it
still showed up in netstat -a, but was inaccessible through http from a
remote machine). This problem is something else.

More info:
In the DataNode log, I'm also seeing:
2012-01-09 13:06:27,751 INFO org.apache.hadoop.ipc.Client: Retrying connect
to server: localhost/127.0.0.1:8020. Already tried 9 time(s).
Why would things just not load on port 8020? I feel like all the errors I'm
seeing are caused by this, but I can't see any errors about why this
occurred in the first place.
are you sure there isn't a firewall in place blocking port 8020?
e.g. iptables on the local machines? if you do
telnet localhost 8020
do you make a connection? if you use lsof and/or netstat can you see
the port open?
if you have root access you can try turning off the firewall with
iptables -F to see if things work without firewall rules.
