I noticed that problem once as well, but it was while issuing the "rm *" command on the shared space from cssh to 5 machines at once, which seems more understandable that you'd see a problem doing it that way. However, it should be able to handle that and I haven't been able to reproduce it yet, so I couldn't track down what actually caused it. I can send you my config details if you'd like to compare.
