Duane, The INVALID_INSTANCEID message implies that your client is trying to contact a server that thinks the instance id is something else. The 1 out of 5 likelihood probably indicates that one out of the five server processes (one master and four tablet servers) has some misconfiguration. When you do a "deleteTable" operation, the client code will get the list of active servers and pick one at random. This would seem to imply that zookeeper is configured correctly across your cluster.
Tablet servers read their instance name and ID out of the accumulo directory in HDFS. I wonder if this could be caused by something like HDFS not being configured the same on one of the tablet servers, so when it launches it doesn't get the right instance ID? (I'm thinking out loud here) Do you see any warning or error messages propagating to your monitor page?
