In your original email, you posted the MAC address of your eth0 NIC.
Looking in this URL, that's a Inventec MAC
http://www.coffer.com/mac_find/?string=00%3AA0%3AD1%3AE5%3AD1%3A88
Yet.. looking at Penguin Computing's page, it says:
--
On-Board LAN 2 x Intel 10/100/1000 ethernet, dedicated 10/100 management
interface
--
So.. the question is.. WHICH Ethernet port are you trying to use here?
I've seen IPMI setups like this where you MUST use the "management"
Ethernet for IPMI traffic. Sometimes you can also use this Ethernet
port for general traffic but this isn't always the case.
If you are indeed using this management interface (not the Intel GE
ports), do you know if the BMC really get's it's own MAC address (like
how Broadcom and very new Intel chips do it) or does it share the MAC
with this Inventec MAC (how older Intel chipsets did things. On my
Supermicro boards, they label one MAC for eth0 and then another MAC on
the IPMI daughter card.
This is a critical difference you need to know.

This is just a guess. Since you use a different IP address than the
node, maybe XXX.XXX.XXX.205 hasn't been resolved to the right MAC
address. You can check your ARP cache via /sbin/arp. If it isn't,
you
might want to see if gratuitous arps are turned on in your BMC
configuration.
It doesn't show up when I run arp, but it also doesn't look like turning
on gratuitous arps has any effect on this card. At least if it does,
it's not reflected in the "print" command:

=========================================
Also, I probably should have mentioned that I originally tried setting
this up using the same IP address as eth0 (XXX.XXX.XXX.206). It was only
after that failed that I started trying a separate IP address (.205).
The errors were the same whether I used .206 or .205.
