I believe you have to set the HADOOP_CONF_DIR to point to the conf directory but I'm not certain here. I just copied the hadoop-site.xml to my hbase conf directory and that solved the problem

I have setup the paths in hadoop-site: <configuration> <property> <name>fs.default.name</name> <value>mb0:9000</value> </property> <property> <name>mapred.job.tracker</name> <value>mb0:9001</value> </property> <property> <name>dfs.replication</name> <value>3</value> </property> </configuration> and uncommented export HADOOP_CLASSPATH=/home/hbase/jerl:/home/hbase/hbase/hbase-0.1.3-NOJ-3.ja r:/home/hbase/hbass/conf in the hadoop-env file.
